Central Bedfordshire Executive Meeting - 22nd April 2014
The Executive considered a report from the Deputy Leader and Executive Member for Corporate Resources that proposed the conversion of the Council owned Acorn Centre in Biggleswade into a dedicated GP primary care medical centre, which would be let on a commercial basis to the Ivel Medical Centre Practice.
It was resolved:
1. that the project target cost of £1.4m funded from the Capital Programme be noted (this is the best estimate but it is still subject to tender in the open market.);
2. to authorise the Director of Improvement and Corporate Services, in consultation with the Executive Member for Corporate Resources, to negotiate the terms of the Agreement for Lease, and the Lease;
3. to authorise the Director of Improvement and Corporate Services, in consultation with the Executive Member for Corporate Resources, to enter into a Build Contract and Agreement for Lease with the Ivel Medical Centre, subject to the satisfactory drafting and execution of the Contract / Agreement by Legal Services
