Decision Maker: Cabinet
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
The Cabinet approved a report on 10 August 2017, recommending the commencement of a procurement exercise to secure a Youth Zone Operator for the delivery of the Preston Youth Zone. A Prior Information Notice was issued on 12 October 2017 to prepare the market for the release of the tender documents.
In June 2016 the Cabinet received a report which provided a cost estimate of £6.925m for the design and construction of the Preston Youth Zone. The county council has committed a capital contribution of £5.925m to the scheme with the requirement that the Youth Zone operator provide the remaining £1m.
The estimate of £6.925m has been reviewed to take account of a recalculation of Tender Price Inflation, a revised design to accommodate the co-location of the Preston Youth Offending Team service and an enhanced specification of the external cladding. This has resulted in an increase in the cost estimate of £1.605m and a total capital cost of £8.53m.
The Cabinet approved the recommendation as set out in the report.
