Decision:

RESOLVED that the most advantageous bid submitted by Greenford Ltd. is accepted in the sum of £136,401 “subject to contract”. Contractor B is Greenford Ltd. The contractor will be engaged using the JCLI Contracts – Landscape Works Contract 2017 and the council’s standard Schedule of Amendments.

Reasons for the decision:

Undertake works in accordance with the Building Harlow’s Future mission to ‘renew our neighborhoods’ as this will allow the council to enhance an environmental asset for the benefit of local residents and community groups alike.

Alternative options considered:

Do Nothing – By not undertaking the work, the council would still be liable for the ongoing maintenance of an allotment site that has not been utilized for some time. The project will reinvigorate the site and provide the council an opportunity to work with local residents and community groups for its future use.

Interests and Nature of Interests Declared:

None.
