Decision details

Willow Park School has needed their windows replacing for a while and an initial budget was approved at Cabinet in April 2023.
A further tender exercise was carried out in March 2024 and bids were more than the £60,000 budget, therefore, a further £60,000 budget was made available from a project that had been cancelled.
As none of the bids were within budget, a 3rd tender process was completed and a new contract price of £105,670.00 was agreed.
Given the original budget was only £60,000, Finance gave approval to move monies from the cancelled Horfield Primary Boiler replacement into the Willow Park Windows project.

Approval to award a contract to replace windows at Willow Park School.

Option 1 - The replacement of these windows is the only solution to improve the situation and not risk a school closure.
