The decision to fund £109,817.84 will fully utilise the
Section 106 Primary Contribution.
From the Primary contribution there has been no expenditure to
date.
The project is a two single-story extensions to either side of main
entrance to school building. The extensions will form a new Sensory
Room and Library.
With increasing numbers and the diverse needs of the children
attending St. Peter’s Primary School these additional
facilities are required. The Library project will provide a more
suitable location and facility whilst utilising unused space. Books
are currently stored in the corridors providing an unsuitable
location for learning activities.
The sensory room will also utilise unused space within St
Peter’s Primary School. The school is seeing increasing
numbers of pupils, especially in KS1, with a variety of conditions
including but not limited to ADHA, autism and sensory associated
conditions. These adversely affect their mental health and
wellbeing. A sensory room will provide a highly effective
intervention for these pupils at the point of need and will have a
lasting impact.
A full tender exercise has been completed in September 2022, with
three contractors provides formal quotations for completion of the
work:
Contractor Tender Cost £
C J Bayliss (Hereford) Ltd 108,364.00
Bolts of Hereford 114,226.00
Owen Pell Ltd 155,449.93
A technical and arithmetical check was undertaken and no errors
were found.
St Peter’s Primary School would like to appoint C J Bayliss
(Hereford) Ltd as the most cost effective solution.
Given the budget limitations a further value engineering exercise
was carried out (Appendix A) providing savings of £4470.00.
This has revised the overall costs including fees to a works total
of £112,205.52.
St Peter’s Primary School have agreed to provide
£2,387.68 to make up the difference over the contribution
amount available.

granted on 17th February 2022 (application number: 220531) and
included as Appendix B.
Responsibility for monitoring the project and managing expenditure
within the total spend budget is to be with the Senior Project
Manager.
