This report seeks to recommend approval for the tendering of a design and build contract covering the refurbishment of the ground floor offices and reception area at 3 Roundwood Avenue, Stockley Park. 

This report contains exempt information within the meaning of Part 1 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972, as amended by the Local Government (Access to Information) Act 1985 and by the Local Government (Access to information) (Variation) Order 2006 Paragraph 3 – Information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information) and in all the circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information because, disclosure to the public would prejudice the financial position of the authority in any lease, contract or other type of negotiation with the tenant or developer, who could then know the position of the Council.

It was proposed by Councillor A. Mitchell, seconded by Councillor C. Barnard and resolved that the public and press be excluded during consideration of this item in accordance paragraph 3 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended) because it was likely to disclose information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information) and in all the circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information because, disclosure to the public would prejudice the financial position of the authority in any lease, contract or other type of negotiation with the tenant or developer, who could then know the position of the Council.

It was proposed by Councillor R. Smith-Ainsley, seconded by Councillor L. Nichols and resolved to:

1.    Approve a budget as detailed in the exempt report including professional fees but excluding VAT for the refurbishment project, and the tendering of the contract in accordance with Contract Standing Orders.

2.    Delegate authority to the Chief Executive, following consultation with the Chair of the Corporate Policy and Resources Committee and the Chair of the Development Sub-Committee, to appoint a contractor following a competitive tender exercise and evaluation/recommendation from the Assets team.

The item has been withdrawn from the agenda for this meeting.
