Notice Title

Link Centre Ice Rink and Radiant Low Emissivity Ceiling

Notice Description

Swindon Borough Council (the Authority) own a number of Leisure buildings within the local area that are operated under a lease agreement by Greenwich Leisure Limited (GLL). On Sunday 17th September 2023 and into Monday 18th September 2023, the Link Leisure Centre in Swindon suffered significant damage as a result of an unforeseeable and extreme weather event through significant storm flooding.The consequence of the storm damage was a total loss of power to the Link Leisure Centre and also that access to the building, specifically the ice rink area, was prevented for a period of two weeks due to health and safety requirements from a utilities provider. As a result, the Authority and GLL, could not assess the extent of the damage to the ice-skating plant and equipment. As soon as safe access to the building was permitted and the full extent of the damage was known, the Authority and GLL acted with extreme urgency to identify suitable replacement equipment that would enable the Ice rink provision to reopen for 17th December 2023. After careful consideration, on the 17th of October 2023, the Authority made the decision to make a direct contract award to Ice Tech UK to supply and install a new highly energy efficient IceGrid system and Radiant Low Emissivity ceiling at the Link Centre for a contract period of approximately 9 weeks.The total value of the contract is PS373,700. The use of the negotiated procedure without prior publication under Regulation 32 of the Public Contracts Regulation 2015 has been relied on.
