The brief

Chelmsford City Council has a statutory duty to provide building control services within its geographical area.

Due to a national shortage of qualified building control inspectors, the council has been unable to recruit permanently to this role despite repeated attempts.

To prevent a breakdown in statutory service delivery, the council previously awarded a 6-month temporary contract to Sarto Thomas to provide a Building Control Manager.

This contract is due to expire, and recruitment efforts remain unsuccessful.

The Council has undertaken a direct award for a further 12 month contract to ensure continuity of services.
