Decision details

At Cabinet on the 24th January 2023 recommendations were approved which authorised the Executive Director Children’s and Education to take all steps required to spend the allocated funding (including procuring and awarding contracts over £500k or entering into grant agreements) to deliver the Youth Zone, including an access road, as outlined in the Cabinet report.
This decision is required to facilitate the tender process for the construction of the permanent access road and associated highways works that are required as part of the South Bristol Youth Zone Project.
After a procurement process using the Lot 6 Highways Framework, the tender was evaluated and found to be compliant with the tender requirements.

After formal evaluation of the tender, it was deemed that the winning bidder had successfully met the requirements of the tender process and it was then recommended for approval.

Other routes to market were considered including a buyer’s event and open tender process. These were not advanced as they did not represent best value at the time.
