Decision details

1.            To approve the procurement strategy, which will result in conducting an open tender competition for the demolition of the main building with a contract estimated value of £600,000.

2.            To approve the procurement strategy, which will result in conducting an open tender competition for the purchase of 9 purpose-built portacabins incorporating WC, changing room and shower facilities for Linford Christie with a contract estimated value of £650,000.

To bring the main building into a suitable state for re-occupation would require a very large investment, estimated around £6.5m. This procurement of demolition and purchase and install nine on site portacabins would be a good medium-term solution to retain the services at Linford Christie until the council had the time to evaluate fully its decision on the future of the stadium and any future investments at an estimated costs of £1.25m and be good for at least 8-10 years.

Option 1: To Do Nothing.

Option 2: Propping Wall and Hiring portacabins.

Option 3 – Demolition and Replacement: This option is recommended.
