APPROVAL TO AWARD CONTRACTS FOR THE PINEHURST, BROCKHURST, LAKESIDE, SALISBURY ROAD AND BENTLEY DAY CENTRE (PHASE 1B) EXTRA CARE HOUSING SITES

Decision Maker: Deputy Chief Executive, Joint Executive Director Adult Social Care & Integrated Commissioning

Decision status: Recommendations approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

The existing school accommodation at the St Matthews CofE Primary School does not enable the provision of a full statutory educational offer that meets the educational needs of Surrey’s most vulnerable learners; therefore, a new block is required. The school is forecast to accommodate an additional 13 primary aged SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) pupils. The places are planned to be phased in over a period of 3-4 years commencing in September 2023. 

 

This project therefore will involve the design and construction of a new building adjacent the main school which will provide high quality modern accommodation facilitating the best learning environment for the new cohort of 13 SEND pupils.

 

Following a compliant tender exercise, it is proposed to award the contract to TG Escapes Ltd. The Contract value is £1,180,500.

 

Decision:

It was agreed that the council shall proceed to award 125-year Contracts to Surrey Extra Care Partners (SECP) for the purposes of developing Extra Care Housing schemes on the Pinehurst, Brockhurst, Lakeside, Salisbury Road and Bentley Day Centre sites.

 

Reasons for the decision:

The award of Contracts for the five sites to the successful bidder is compliant with the July 2020 (Pinehurst & Brockhurst), October 2020 (Lakeside & Salisbury Road) and July 2022 (Bentley Day Centre) cabinet decisions.

 

The award of Contracts for the five sites to the successful bidder is consistent with the aims of the Accommodation with Care and Support strategy which was approved by Cabinet in July 2019.

 

Alternative options considered:

None.

Interests and Nature of Interests Declared:

None.
