WQ.405/2024
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR INFRASTRUCTURE BY DEPUTY D.J. WARR OF ST. HELIER SOUTH
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 4th NOVEMBER 2024 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 11th NOVEMBER 2024
Question
"Will the Minister advise whether a London-based building consultancy firm has been appointed to support the maintenance work at the Havre des Pas Lido and café site; and, if so, will the Minister explain why and why it was considered that a Jersey-based company could not be used?"
Answer
Latitude Building Consultancy (LBC) have been engaged to undertake maintenance work at the Lido. A Framework Agreement with LBC is in place, as is the case with several companies. LBC are a UK Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) Chartered Surveyor firm with extensive experience in building surveying, condition assessments, defect analysis, remedial actions, and contract administration. They are responsive and have a proven track record of delivering high-profile commercial projects for the Government of Jersey. LBC are engaged in accordance with the Public Finance Manual and in line with the Government's procurement processes. This was not a conscious decision to avoid engaging a Jersey company, it was a conscious decision to seek best value for the taxpayer.
