Kent County Council is seeking to re-procure
specialist Management Services at The Old Rectory business centre
in Northfleet, a Kent County Council owned facility that offers
high quality office space to SME’s and new
businesses.
Decision type: Key
Reason Key: Expenditure or savings of more than £1m;
Decision status: Deleted
Division affected: Northfleet & Gravesend West;
Notice of proposed decision first published: 09/09/2015
Department: Growth, Environment & Transport
Consultation process
Financial Implications: There are no additional financial
implications for the County Council. The centre is self-funding and
generates an annual profit, which is placed within a
“maintenance fund” held by KCC, and is utilised as
necessary, where works to the building in the future become
necessary. The net profit over the next seven years is estimated to
be £448k (against an estimated gross income of
£1.96m).
Legal Implications: Any additions/adjustments to
the standard contract produced in 2008/2009 (ratified by KCC Legal
Services) will be passed to KCC Legal for checking ahead of the
contract being put in force.
Equalities Implications: It is considered that an
EIA is not needed. It should be noted that a diversity
questionnaire will be requested from each tender response. In
addition, the successful tender will be required to provide
services consistent with the Council’s Equality and Diversity
Statement
