Decision

That

1. Authority be delegated to the Director of Housing, Planning, Property and Regeneration to approve the submission and acceptance of any grant funding for this site, alongside executing any ancillary legal documentation arising thereof.
2. The award of the works contract and all ancillary legal documentation as detailed in the Part 2 (Exempt) report be approved. It be noted that the award of contract is from RIBA stage 4 (detailed design) to RIBA stage 7 and therefore some costs are yet to be firmed up following the detailed design. In order to allow for these costs, the capital programme allocation should remain at £29m until the project is complete.
3. The further recommendations in Part 2 of the agenda in relation to the award of the works contract be noted.
