Decision

To appoint and place an order with Sussex Renovations for the repairs and redecoration works required to the shelters in Marine Park Gardens, Kings Parade, Bognor Regis.

Reasons for the decision

These works were procured by direct tendering on the basis of lowest cost and on receipt of the tenders this was found to be most cost effective to appoint Sussex Renovations to carry out the works.

Tenders
3 contractors were invited to tender and 3 tender submissions were returned. The submissions were competitive market tenders from the following;

Sussex Renovations
Hawke Property Services
Hi-Lite Decorators

Sussex Renovations tender at £13,900 has been checked and is a valid tender. These works are being funded from existing Property budgets and there are adequate funds available within these budgets to accommodate the quoted cost of the works.

Alternative options considered

1. Do nothing. This option was rejected as the shelters are in need of render repair and redecoration as they are currently showing signs of deterioration.

2. Do not accept any of the three tenders. This option was rejected as the competitive tenders received for these works demonstrate the level of pricing that could be expected from re-tendering.
