Agenda item

To receive a confidential verbal update from officers regarding the awarding of the tender to refurbish the Leys Skate Park.

With the permission of the Chair, this item was brought up the agenda.

A confidential verbal update was provided to the Committee by the Head of Estates & Operations.

The Committee was advised the Council had followed the tender process and four submissions had been received for this refurbishment project. All four were within the £150,000 budget and had been scored by officers, Ley’s stakeholders and Skateboard users on design and several quality aspects.

The result was one clear winner which had a wealth of experience in constructing Skate Parks. Members welcomed designs from the recommended tenderer and were pleased to hear the tender was inclusive and that a high level of added social value was included.

There were still some further items for checking by officers to ensure due diligence but subject to those being resolved satisfactorily, Members approved the winning tender.

Resolved:

1.      That, the confidential verbal update be noted and,

2.      That, the tender for the Skate Park refurbishment be awarded to the recommended contractor based on the design and quality assurance, subject to final checks.
