Decision details

This decision is required to approve the purchase of Eco furniture from the Council's contracted furniture supplier. This will enable the Council to furnish the new Alexandra Park Eco Centre office building which incorporates associated mess facilities together with events and training spaces. The purchase of eco furniture is part of a' blended' approach which will also incorporate the re-use of some recycled furniture within the new building.

RESOLVED - That: the purchase of Eco furniture from the Council's contracted furniture supplier is approved.

Option 1 - Order eco furniture from the Council's contracted supplier in order to equip the new office as part of a 'blended' approach to the office's furniture provision.
Option 2 - Furnish more of the new office with pre-used furniture from the Civic Centre. Some items of furniture required are not available as pre-used furniture so must be purchased as new. The pre-used furniture items selected for use in the new offices are suitable for purpose and will not need to be adapted to fit the requirements of the building.
Option 3 -Do nothing - this is not an option

Option 2 and 3

Consultation has been undertaken with the following Council departments:
- Legal
- Procurement
- Property
- Environmental Services
