Purpose

The existing boat hoist at
Ramsgate Royal Harbour is 30 years old and is showing signs of
wear. Due to the age of the vehicle keeping it in a suitable
operational condition will incur large costs, which are not
currently accounted for in the Ramsgate Royal Harbour budget. The
existing boat hoist still holds some residual resale value offering
a saving on the new vehicle purchase. The boat hoist is a key asset
to Ramsgate Royal Harbour, generating a large amount of income
through its use and the boat hardstanding area.

Decision

Cabinet agreed the following:
 
1. 
To approve the key decision to award a contract with a value in
excess of £250,000 to supply the new boat hoist at the
Ramsgate Royal Harbour, following a procurement exercise;
 
2. 
To delegate authority to the Director of Environment to agree the
final terms and sign the contract with the successful bidder.
