Decision:

50/2014

The Cabinet agreed to the award of the contract to Bolt & Heeks for the Phase 1 Works at Brompton Westbrook Primary School.

Reasons:

 

The Council has a statutory duty to ensure there are sufficient school places as set out in the Education & Inspections Act 2006 and this project supports the Council’s School Organisation Plan 2011 – 2016, which highlights the need for additional pupil places in Gillingham. The new accommodation will also allow the school to increase the use of the schools facilities by the local community.

 

The Procurement process was carried out in line with the Council’s Contract Rules and that best value for money has been delivered through this process.
