Purpose

To place an order with Chubb Fire Safety, following a procurement process, for replacement of the CCTV system at Hudson Leisure Centre.

Following a conditions survey of all aged assets at site, it was found that the CCTV system had reached the end of its workable life cycle and will need replacement. This is both a safety and maintenance concern as not having eyes across your building could make it.

Decision

An order to the value of £54,110 will be placed with Chubb Fire Safety following a procurement process, following a procurement process, for replacement of the CCTV system at Hudson Leisure Centre.

Reasons for the decision

•    FDC has a budget for condition survey works within the capital programme.  As replacement of a whole capital asset, FDC is bound by the contract with Freedom to carry out this replacement.
