Biggleswade Medical Centre


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.

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
