Margam Catering and Twyn Yr Hydd

Joint Private Report of the Head of Transformation and the

Head of Property and Regeneration

Minutes:

Decisions:

 

1.   That approval be granted to retain the catering operation at the Orangery and Charlottes Pantry;

 

2.   That the previous exercise for a tenant and operator to be appointed for Twyn Yr Hydd be abandoned and that the Head of Property and Regeneration be granted delegated authority to notify the remaining organisations of the exercise being abandoned;

 

3.   That approval be granted for officers to explore the viability of developing Twyn yr Hydd as a smaller wedding venue to complement the operation at The Orangery;

 

4.   That if Recommendations 2 proves not appropriate the Head of Property and Regeneration and the Head of Transformation be granted authority to commence a new exercise for the granting of a lease for Twyn Yr Hydd;

 

5.   That the Head of Transformation be granted delegated authority to accept the highest scoring applicant following a competitive process being undertaken.  In the event that the highest scoring applicant declines the award, delegated authority be granted to the next highest scoring and so on;

 

6.   That the Head of Property and Regeneration be granted delegated authority to enter into a lease and any associated documents with the successful applicant under the aforementioned competitive exercise in respect of Twyn Yr Hydd.

 

Reason for Decisions:

 

The option of in house delivery is considered to be the better delivery model after appraising both options.

 

The retendering of Twyn Yr Hydd is necessary to attract a tenant who would complement the existing offer at Margam Country Park.

 

Implementation of Decisions:

 

That the decisions will be implemented after the three day call in period.
