Issue details

Decision to fund up to £145,799 of Section 106 monies for “Education” towards the demolition of mobile classroom and provision of new outdoor classroom at Clehonger Primary School, Gosmore Road, Clehonger, Hereford, HR2 9SN.

The Section 106 Contributions arise from one Section 106 legal agreement:

Planning Reference GT / FIN Code Original Contribution S106 Allocation Expiry Date
P142349/O GT05 FIN1792 £145,799 £145,799 17/06/2031
TOTAL £145,799

The scheme involves the demolition of the existing three-bay Elliott Classroom and associated site works and the supply and erection of an out-door classroom, all as detailed on drawings 349-01(A) / 349-02(B) / 349-03 (Appendix 1).

Planning permission was granted on 11th May 2022 under application number 213842. The decision notice has been contained within Appendix 2.

In accordance with Herefordshire Councils Contract Procedure Rules (CPR), a tender was issued via the council’s e-portal in June 2023. Tenders were returned in July 2023 as follows:

Supplier Returned Tender Price (£)
SC Joseph £89,089.53
Valleys Waste Services £76,345.00

A full tender evaluation was completed with results concluded as follows:

Bidder Name Q1 Q2 Returned Tender Price (£)
SC Joseph 14% 4% £89,089.53
Valleys Waste Services 2% 2% £76,345.00


On the 31st July 2023, SC Joseph were awarded the formal contract for the works. The moderated evaluation summary sheet has been included within Appendix 3.

We are therefore satisfied that a sufficient tendering exercise has been completed in accordance with Herefordshire Councils Contract Procurement Rules (CPR).

Although the cost for delivery is expected as set out above, a further allowance has been made to consider known site issues including demolition, ground levels and potential additional requirements to foundation substructure.

Any unutilised monies from the project will be allocated to a further project as advised by the Education Service.

Responsibility for monitoring the project and managing expenditure within the total spend budget is to be with the S106 Programme Manager.
