Decision details

Award of contract in relation to Multi-Use Games Area - Jennyfields, Harrogate

Decision Maker: Corporate Director of Environment

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

To award a supply and installation contract to Axo Leisure Services Limited at a value of £68,000 + VAT for ground works and improvement to the existing basketball court, to create a more user-friendly site for the benefit of both basketball and netball at Jennyfields Sports, Jennyfields Drive Harrogate.

Reasons for the decision:

A procurement exercise was undertaken during Autumn 2025. The scheme is programmed to commence on site in April and complete in May 2026.

Alternative options considered:

The option to not award contract on a best value basis was considered but rejected. It would result in the S106 funds expiring and being returned to the developer. This would result in the outdoor sports facility being in a poor state of repair and requiring closure and removal. This would reduce children and young peoples opportunities to play and learn.
