Minutes:

Background:

 

This report sought permission to commence the procurement of the permanent expansion to 2 forms of entry at Brompton Westbrook Primary School. The Outline Business Case for the new building had been approved by Cabinet on 11 June 2013 (decision number: 99/2013).

 

The new accommodation included a school/community hall with changing facilities, a new main entrance, two new classrooms and additional dining space. This allowed the existing hall to be used for improved SEN group rooms and pastoral care. It also allowed reconfiguration of the office spaces, which were currently unsuitable.

 

The report set out the various procurement options including a preferred option for consideration.

 

It was noted that the Gateway 1 report had been approved for submission to the Cabinet after review and discussion by the Children and Adult Directorate Management Team and Procurement Board.

 

An exempt appendix set out key information concerning finance and whole-life costing.

 

Decision number:

Decision:

161/2013

The Cabinet approved the Gateway 1 High Risk Report for progression to Gateway 2 of the procurement process for a single stage Design and Build tender via the Kent County Council Select List (as set out in 3.10 (2) of the report).

Reasons:

 

The decision grants permission to commence the procurement of the permanent expansion of Brompton Westbrook Primary School to 2 forms of entry in accordance with the decision of Cabinet on 11 June 2013 (decision No. 99/2013). This decision would allow for works to commence 6 weeks earlier than via the IESE framework two stage tender route. It was believed that the single stage route offered a better opportunity to deliver the key items for September 2014.
