Decision details

To place an order to the value of £34,640 with Pool Tech Services, following a procurement process, for the installation of a Hyprolyser unit to replace the existing end of useful life chlorination equipment at the Hudson Leisure Centre.

Following a recent regular maintenance visit the 23+ year old chlorine dosing system for the Hudson Leisure Centre has been declared beyond useful life.  As a critical piece of equipment required to keep the pool open and safe, replacement before complete failure is essential.

·         Existing equipment is beyond useful life and is critical for the functioning of the swimming pool.

·         A procurement exercise has been conducted following FDC’s procurement policy and Pool Tech Services have offered the cheapest quotation to carry out the required works.

·         FDC has a budget for condition survey works within the capital programme. As replacement of a whole capital asset, FDC is bound by the contract with Freedom to carry out this replacement.

None – this is critical equipment and it’s failure is not something to risk.
