Playground Refurbishment Contract (Cllr Eddie Lavery)

 

Meeting: 10/11/2022 - CABINET (Item 7)

Playground Refurbishment Contract

Minutes:

RESOLVED:

 

That the Cabinet approves the tender from Kompan Ltd for the provision of the design, replacement and installation of playground equipment for the London Borough of Hillingdon for a four-year period from 1 December 2022 date to 31 December 2026 and at the estimated value of £1,600,000.

 

Reasons for decision

 

Following a procurement exercise, Cabinet approved a contract for the planned refurbishment of 23 of the Borough’s 150 playgrounds and welcomed the significant investment being put in by the Council for the children and residents of the Borough.

 

Alternative options considered and rejected

 

Cabinet could have decided not to refurbish the playgrounds, resulting in their ultimate closure or instead used ad hoc contractors which would have affected the ability to deliver a planned programme of refurbishment.

Private - Whilst the Cabinet's decisions above are always made public, the officer report relating to this matter is not because it was considered in the private part of the meeting and contained information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the Authority holding that information) and the public interest in withholding the information outweighed the public interest in disclosing it in accordance with Section 100(A) and paragraph 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12 (A) to the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended).
