Purpose:
Content: (Decision Notice D250105CAB) (Reasons: Part 2 – Private – LGA 1972 Sch 12A Paragraph 3 – Financial or business affairs of any particular person) The report of the Director of Street Scene, Leisure and Technical Services set out the tender process for the refurbishment of the Wet Change area at Larkfield Leisure Centre and sought approval for the award of the contract. Due regard was given to the financial and value for money considerations, the assessment of risk and the legal implications detailed in the report. A risk register had been developed for the project and would be reviewed throughout the scheme to ensure risks were identified and mitigated as far as reasonably possible. On the grounds that best value had been demonstrated and of ensuring that the Borough Council’s leisure facilities were maintained in a safe, working state for the enjoyment of customers, Cllr Keers proposed, Cllr Betts seconded and Cabinet RESOLVED: That delegated authority be granted to the Director of Street Scene, Leisure and Technical Services, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Community Services, to award the contract to the lead tenderer for the refurbishment of the Wet Change area at Larkfield Leisure Centre on the basis that the costs fall within the project budget of £270,000 (excluding locker replacement and internal redecoration).
