06/09/2021 - Procurement Exemption - Specialist Contractor for KGV Learn to Ride Facility ref: 5286    Recommendations Approved

A children's learn to ride facility is proposed for King George V Park. It is proposed to appoint a specialist contract, Play Scheme Ltd (PSL), for this work. PSL have prepared a preliminary scheme and cost estimates and these formed the basis of a successful application for Sport England match funding grant.
There are few specialist design
and build contractors for the type of scheme proposed for
KGV. Play Schemes Ltd have recently delivered similar children learn-to-ride facilities in Gravesend, Paddington, Westminster, and Nottingham.
An 'exemption from contract procedures' was approved on 17 May 2021 for the appointment of Play Scheme Ltd to construct this facility.

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Made at meeting: 06/09/2021 - Cabinet

Decision published: 14/09/2021

Effective from: 06/09/2021

Decision:

Cabinet received a report of the Project Manager setting out details of the procurement exemption for a learn to ride facility at King George V playing fields.

 

The Mayor invited Councillor Williams, Portfolio for Neighbourhood Services, to introduce the report.

 

Councillor Williams said that this was an exciting project and would be a great asset for the town.  The learn to ride facility would encourage children to learn to ride in a safe setting.  It was hoped that the facility would be up and running by next spring.

 

Councillor Williams explained that there were a limited number of contractors able to provide the type of facility proposed.  The approved contractor, Play Scheme Ltd, had created other bespoke schemes across the country, including Gravesend and Nottingham.  The other schemes had also received financial support from Sports England.

 

The Mayor noted that the facility would be free to use and was to be located next to the Watford Cycle Hub.

 

In response to members’ questions, Councillor Williams confirmed that the facility would be fully accessible enabling all to use it.  Schools would be able to use the facility and Watford Cycle Hub had a great reputation for working with schools training children to ride.  It would be a permanent facility for Watford.

 

RESOLVED –

 

That Cabinet notes the approved exemption to the Council’s Procurement Procedure rules in relation to the appointment of Play Scheme Ltd for the KGV Learn to Ride contract.
