Background:

This report sought permission to award a contract following the recently undertaken procurement process for the new build extension for the entrance and administration and a review of the existing accommodation to allow for extra classrooms at Greenvale Infant School, Chatham.

This Procurement Gateway 3 Report had been approved for submission to the Cabinet after review and discussion at Children and Adults Directorate Management Team meeting on 1 October 2013 and Procurement Board on 15 October 2013.

An exempt appendix set out detailed finance and whole costing information for this project and the detailed procurement process tender evaluation information.

Reasons:

The project will deliver the objectives outlined in the business case and summarised in section 4.1 of the report, to support the Council’s School Organisation Plan 2011 – 2016, approved by Cabinet on 12 June 2012 (decision number 85/2012), which highlights the need for more pupil places in the Chatham area.
