Decision Maker: Corporate Director (Economy & Place)

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

Clacton Leisure Centre, Walton on the Naze Lifestyles and Dovercourt Bay Lifestyles all have ageing storage containers that are leaking and beyond repair. This concurrence enables a replacement of the current containers across the Leisure Estate. Clacton Leisure Centre currently has two containers, and Dovercourt and Walton have one container at each site. Due to the maximisation of space at all three sites and increased activities, this means that there is very limited storage space within the sites. As such, the best solution is to have container storage that is secure and weather-proof.
As such, a decision has been brough forward to appoint and enter into a contract via purchase order with DC Transport and Engineering to remove four old containers and replace with four new containers across the three Leisure Sites.

Decision:

A) To agree that an exemption from procurement rules be applied in this instance.
B) To enter into a contract via purchase order with DC Transport and Engineering to remove four old containers and replace them with four new containers.
C) To approve the associated use of up to £11,580 from the balance of £50,00 Leisure Capital Projects Reserve Budget assigned.

The Corporate Finance & Governance Portfolio Holder and the Leisure & Public Realm Portfolio Holder have concurred, as appropriate, with the above decisions being made.

Alternative options considered:

Not to replace the and continue with leaking and beyond repair containers, causing damage to equipment.
