New Skate Park, BMX, Scooter and Parkour Facility

St Cleer Parish Council is seeking to develop a new skate park with provision for BMX, scooters and parkour. This facility needs to provide a play space that is stimulating, exciting and fit for purpose which will give the children and young adults an area they can call their own, providing a sense of ownership to the area. This facility will help to introduce the children to risk and develop their confidence and resilience, whilst aiming to reduce levels of anti-social behaviour

Additional information: The following principles will apply to all procurement which is based on MEAT (Most Economically Advantageous Tender rather than lowest price)

Non-Discrimination St Cleer sets out to be anti-discriminatory in all of its procurement activity and will seek to protect suppliers from the following as laid out in the Equality Act 2010

• age

• disability

• gender reassignment

• marriage and civil partnership

• pregnancy and maternity

• race

• religion or belief

• sex

• sexual orientation

Transparency St Cleer will abide by the regulations in relation to Transparency and will carry out due diligence audit of these matters which will be reported to Parish.

• St Cleer operates a Preferred Provider listing which will be published on the website and which it is possible to join at any time. This listing is based on a supplier questionnaire (SQ) and receipt of insurance, references and some limited due diligence checks in relation to health and safety, PLI / Professional Indemnity and ELI Insurance, risk assessment and method statements.

• St Cleer reserves the right to use competence and capability shown in past contracts to inform future contracting arrangements

Equal Treatment - St Cleer will ascertain supplier suitability based only on the items noted in the Preferred Provider SQ. Where practicable it will employ a 30-day procurement process (save where exigent circumstances are noted).

• It will use central purchasing organisations (KCS, CCS, YPO, NEPO, ESPO, Bloom) where possible

• JCTLtd.Co.UK, NECContract.com and TED Daily are also acceptable commissioning portals.

Proportionality - St Cleer Parish Council actively endorses the notion of proportionality in relation to commercial value of procurement and will purchase accordingly whilst acknowledging the Public Contracting Regulations 2015.

• St Cleer will seek to purchase in such a way as the Consumer Credit Act coverages may also be added to purchasing safeguards

Recognition of Standards and Industry accreditations St Cleer will recognise standards and equivalent standards as laid down by Lead Industry Bodies such as CORGI, BSiF etc

Aspirations The following principles will be asked and positively contribute to all purchasing decisions:

• Lack of zero hours contracts

• Living Wage employment practices

• Anti trafficking policy

• Low transport impact

• Use of local economy

• Sustainable and environmentally friendly practices

• Demonstrated social value or community benefit
