Minutes:
The Marketing & Major Projects Manager presented a report on the Stade Hall Facilities Management. Three tenders were received from organisations, with one being discounted due to being non-compliant. Organisations B and C both produced reasonably comprehensive tenders - which were assessed -and supplemented these by additional documentation at the interviews on 20 February.
Organisation ‘B’ focused on their community background, the added value their operation could bring, and on the potential commercial value of the Stade for events, particularly ‘life’ events (parties, anniversaries, weddings, funerals/wakes, etc.). They intended to apply for grant funding to support their bid, and expected to just cover their costs of the Stade operation.
Organisation ‘C’ – Sussex Coast College Hastings - had a particularly robust view on the potential value of commercial lettings, whilst at the same time allowing for community use at a much lower fee. Organisation C is a large organisation, albeit local based, and would offer the Stade facilities as part of a much wider venue offer. It would integrate the Stade operation into its main business. Organisation C proposed paying a management fee of £10 000 per annum from year 2.
It was suggested that the organisation work with fishermen in the area to engage with the community the Stade Hall, as the kitchen area was originally intended.
Councillor Batsford proposed approval of the report, which was seconded by
Councillor Poole.
RESOLVED (unanimously) that:
That Sussex Coast College Hastings is appointed to manage the Stade Hall facilities subject to due diligence and contractual processes.
The reason for this decision:
Sussex Coast College Hastings offered the most robust business case, had the organisational capacity to deliver the management facilities, and will return a £10,000 fee to the Foreshore Trust from the second year of their management.
