Decision Maker: Chief Operating Officer
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: Yes
The decision was required to confirm award of
the contract to a building contractor following the completion of a
thorough design, and procurement process. The decision will allow
the contractor to complete the rebuilding of the Heathfield Youth
Hub. Planning permission has also been granted and funding
secured.
Chief Officer approved the appointed of the
main contractor under a Joint Contracts Tribunal (JCT) traditional
form of contract for Heathfield Youth Hub.
The contractor has been selected through the East Sussex County
Council (ESCC) procurement process achieving best value for money
for ESCC to enable the project to complete by March 2025.
This project is funded by an external source with the requirement
for work to be completed by the end of March 2025. The programme is
in line with this requirement.
This is an externally funded project. The only
alternative option was to not proceed with the capital project, but
this is not an attractive or viable option given that the funding
has been secured and local stakeholders are expecting a refurbished
youth hub to be delivered by March 2025.
