(Report of Director of Street Scene, Leisure and Technical Services)
The report provided an update on the investigation of development opportunities at Leybourne Lakes Country Park (LLCP) linked to capital investment. Attention was drawn to the proposed Tender Evaluation Criteria with particular reference to the time frame for procurement and the proposal that the evaluation would be based on the most economically advantageous tender (MEAT) with a Price/Quality split of 40% and 60% respectively. It was noted that the Tender process did not commit the Borough Council to outsourcing the management of the country park.
Following consideration by the Communities and Housing Advisory Board, the Cabinet Member for Community Services resolved that:
(1) the Evaluation Criteria, as detailed in the report, be approved;
(2) the timeframe, as outlined in the report, be approved; and
(3) Dartford Borough Council be commissioned to administer and support the procurement of the contract.
