Appendix 1 sets out evaluation details of the tenders received. Appendix 2 sets out the details of the tenders received and contains exempt information as defined in Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972. It is in the public interest to maintain the confidentiality of Appendix 2 pursuant to Paragraph 3 ‘Information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding the information).’

Alternative options considered

To do nothing with the fabric of the building would lead to further deterioration to the building and the need for further interior repairs to be undertaken. This would not be cost effective as it would result in areas of the building being taken out of use which would in turn affect future educational requirement of the building. It would also introduce health and safety risks to users and staff.
