Purpose:

The procurement process has been followed in searching for an appropriate provider for this piece of equipment. This has gone out to tender to ensure that the equipment sourced is to the necessary British Standards and specification. The tender has been awarded not only on price, but also on the quality to reduce the need for repair in the future and added value.

Decision:

To approve the allocation of £17,819 of Section 106 monies for:
1. The installation and maintenance of a 'Spinmee Inclusive Roundabout' in Bentley Park.
2. To move Gym Equipment from Toll Bar to Bentley Park.
3. To include the scheme in the Adults, Health & Wellbeing Capital Programme.
4. To approve scheme implementation.

Alternative options considered:

Option 1 - To install the 'Spinmee Inclusive Roundabout' and to move Gym Equipment.
To approve this ODR will ensure that the roundabout is installed for the residents of the Bentley Ward and all Park users to enjoy.
Option 2 - Install alternative equipment.
As indicated, other pieces of equipment were considered, however this is thought to be the most inclusive piece of equipment.
Option 3 - To do nothing.
The option to do nothing may result in unspent money being lost and the facilities in the park not being improved or enhanced.
