Decision details

Renovation and Reinstatement of the Manor Leisure Centre Dryside Changing Rooms

Decision Maker: Head of Leisure Services

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To place an order, following the FDC procurement process, for the renovation and reinstatement of the Manor Leisure Centre dryside changing rooms to be used from May 2026 onwards.

 

These currently unused rooms will be brought back into service so that the paying members have somewhere to change and wash whilst works are happening in the wetside building – irrespecitive of whether the major development comments or just the conditions survey works move forward instead.

Decision:

To place an order with Turner Contracting Ltd for the value specified following a procurement process for the renovation and reinstatement of the dryside changing rooms at Manor Leisure Centre.

Reasons for the decision:

·       If the major redevelopment of the swimming pool proceeds, the gym will move to the sport hall building and changing rooms will be required. If the major redevelopment does not proceed and the conditions survey works move forwards instead, the renovation of the pool building will require these changing rooms for gym users during condition survey works.

 

    A procurement exercise has been conducted following FDC’s procurement policy and Turner Contracting Ltd have offered the cheapest quotation to carry out the required works. The Procurement Manager has reviewed the procurement and is satisfied with the winning bid, with it demonstrating value for money.

 

    FDC has a budget for condition survey works within the capital programme. 

Alternative options considered:

None – there is no other space available to do these works.
