This report sought permission to award a contract for the Thames View School Primary Amalgamation Project. The works would support the sustainability, effectiveness and efficiency of the amalgamation, as well as consideration for the community and well being of all stakeholders.

The Cabinet had agreed to commence procurement (Gateway 1) on 18 January 2011 and the report gave details of the procurement process, the options available and an evaluation of the tender information. An exempt appendix set out details of the whole life costings for the contract, together with the detailed tender evaluation information.

It was noted that the Strategic Procurement Board had considered this report on 9 March 2011 and referred it to Cabinet for approval.

Reasons:

To provide improved accommodation to enable the school to accept a sustainable number of pupils into the nursery classes and to create an amalgamated administration hub and entrance for the school.
