Decisions

East Sussex County Council (ESCC) is taking action to provide sufficient places for the increases in pupils with Special Education Needs (SEN) and particularly the demand for special school places and high cost independent placements. This includes the construction of a new special school in Hailsham. The new school will be built to accommodate 80 pupils, ages 4 – 16 years old.

The tender received six bids and although some contractors came through with more competitive prices, their overall scores from all three elements combined (Quality, Commercial & Social Value) did not exceed Wilmott Dixon’s and this resulted in their rejection.

It was decided that the tender should be awarded to Wilmott Dixon Construction Ltd using the Orbis Construction Framework (Option 1) as they had the most economically advantageous tender of all six contractors.

Currently there are over 300 parking ticket machines in ESCC (East Sussex County Council) which are in need of replacement and there may be a further requirement of 200 additional machines in the near future. The new machines contract that has been put in place has appointed Cale Access UK to deliver the new Hardware. These machines are able to take credit/debit card payments through chip and pin and contactless enabled Hardware. In order to process these payments a third party needs to be put in place to act as the payment service provider. As no other payment service was accredited to Cale Access, and to accredit another contractor would be a lengthy, costly process, it was decided that the contract should be awarded to 3C Payment UK.

It was decided this tender should be directly awarded to 3C Payment UK (option 1) as they were the only provider that accredit Cale Access UK Machines.

The Street Works Contract will enable East Sussex County Council's Parking Services Team to provide an essential ancillary sign and line maintenance service so as to maintain safety, legality and enforceability, principally in the County Council’s Controlled Parking Area’s in Eastbourne, Lewes and Hastings. Reliable Maintenance Ltd, the incumbent supplier, submitted the only bid after a compliant procurement process.

It was decided that this contract should be awarded to Reliable Maintenance Ltd as part of a retender (Option 1) - they were the incumbent supplier and no other bids were received.

As an essential requirement, each partner of Orbis Public Law (OPL) currently has a legal case management system in place.The rationale for combining the four individual databases into one, is therefore clear as it will provide considerable operational benefits, eliminate duplicated system management tasks and result in a reduction of the time, cost and resources required to operate four individual systems.

Civica is the current provider of this system to all four partners and Prescient Plus is the leading legal case management system available in the Local Authority market. OPL is happy that the system’s functionality remains fit for purpose and that the contract performance of Civica is of a high standard. Therefore as a best-for-business decision, OPL do not see the need to pursue any alternatives to the current system at this time.

It was decided that the tender should be directly awarded to Civica under the Crown Commercial Service LASA Framework (Option 1)

The Newhaven Port Access Road (NPAR) is identified as a priority in the County Council Plan as well as within the Coast to Capital Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) Local Growth Deal.
The delivery of the NPAR is integral to the Newhaven Enterprise Zone announced in the Chancellor’s 2015 Autumn Statement, the delivery of the Port’s Masterplan and, along with the investment being made in the flood defences in the town by the Environment Agency and the two LEP’s - Coast to Capital (C2C LEP) and South East (SE LEP), will help the viability of commercial and housing development sites in the Newhaven area.
The NPAR will open up land to enable the delivery of 9,750sqm employment space in the port, creating over 620 new net additional jobs in the town. From the economic assessment to support the business case, the NPAR will derive Gross Value Added (GVA) benefits of over £340m up to 2030 at present value and will represent very high value for money from an economic perspective.

The value of the contract is £18.5m.

It was decided this tender should be awarded to BAM Nuttall Ltd using GEN3 Framework (option 1) as they were the only tender to be received which complied with all of the requirements.

The decision was approved by the Director Of Communities, Economy and Transport in consultation with the Lead Member, Cllr Ruper Simmons.

Delegated authority was given to the Chief Operating Officer to dispose of the site for best consideration at the Lead Member for Resources meeting on 25 November 2014. It was known, following the construction of the school that ESCC would transfer the land and buildings to the Diocese of Chichester as part of a statutory transfer.

Transfer (disposal) of the site to the Diocese of Chichester now that all construction and legal matters have been concluded.
