To meet the objectives of ‘Increasing
Opportunities, Improving Outcomes: Kent County Council’s
Strategic Statement (2015-2020)’ by delivering better
outcomes for businesses, increasing business start-up rate and

jobs in Kent. In addition, the Growth, Environment & Transport
business plan 2015/16 reflects the need for the ongoing supply of

Consultation process
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.
Financial implications: the centre is self-funding and generates an
annual profit, which is placed within a “sinking 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).
