Alignment of Key Objectives to the Millom Park Vision/Millom Park Phase II Strategy
Rationale: Cllr Faulkner explained the rationale of these documents to the councillors and stated that this was one of the requirements of the South Copeland GDF Community Fund to be put in place prior to being awarded the money for the redevelopment of the Millom Park Phase II. Cllr Billing stated that he thought that it was of poor execution and felt that it needed more work. Cllr Faulkner informed Cllr Billing and the councillors present that it was a document that had been forwarded from the Community Fund in liaison with Millom Town Deal representative and had been drawn up to their specification. Cllr Micklethwaite proposed that it be submitted as requested, this was seconded by Cllr Kelly and agreed.
1 Procurement Policy Note – Update to legal and policy requirements to publish procurement information on Contracts Finder – Item 2
Cllr Amos queried specific items in this document and asked if this document was going out to tender. Cllr Faulkner informed the councillors that this was a template to be agreed on and that the document would be amended accordingly for any works that the council were looking to carry out. Cllr Faulkner also stated that we had to have some format for a tender document to show that MTC was acting in the correct way. It was proposed by Cllr Kelly that the tender document be agreed subject to it being changed in any way before submission for quotations for works to be carried out. This was seconded by Cllr McGrath and agreed.
There being no further business the meeting closed at 07.25pm.
