Minutes:

Background:

This report requested the Cabinet’s agreement to award the procurement of the Building Contractor for the Healthy Living Centre Contract.

The report set out that various options had been considered for the redevelopment of the first floor of the Pentagon Centre, however most would be risky for the Council. The favoured option for development was for it to be used as an NHS Healthy Living Centre (HLC). This would provide a much-needed medical facility in Chatham, as well as bring in rental income for the Council and reduce void costs.

1.1.1

An exempt Appendix to the report set out financial analysis in relation to the procurement and recommended the provider the contract should be awarded to.

Decision number:	Decision:
81/2024	The Cabinet agreed to award the building contract for the Healthy Living Centre to Bauvill Ltd as they had been evaluated as the most economically advantageous tender against the Council’s award criteria as per the evaluation spreadsheet contained within 3.1 of the Exempt Appendix.
	The Cabinet noted that the formal award to the preferred contractor would not be issued until such time as the NHS had fully committed and signed the legal agreement.
82/2024	The Cabinet agreed the waiver of a Performance Company Guarantee (PCG) or Performance Bond, as set out at 3.3.1 of the report.
83/2024	The Cabinet agreed that recommendations 1.1 and 1.3 [decision nos. 81/2024 and 82/2024] were urgent and therefore should not be subject to call in, as set out in 3.1.15 of the report.
