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:

1.Surrey County Council will award 11 Contracts for Family Centres and Family

Resilience (see Procurement Report).

 

2.  All future extensions to Contracts for Family Centres and Family Resilience will be approved by the Director of Commissioning and/or Head of Service.

 

Reasons for the decision:

Surrey County Council will be able to ensure we provide Family Centres and Family Resilience Services to Children, Young People and their families. This is also a compliant route to market meeting the requirements of ‘The Public Contracts Regulations 2015’.
