Purpose

To agree funding for a programme
of works to deliver a Decarbonisation Scheme and five-year Asset Management Plan
of essential repairs, maintenance and improvements for the Broadcut Depot.

 

To seek delegated authority to
appoint a contractor to deliver the Decarbonisation Scheme, following a
thorough procurement/tendered process.

 

The report provides details of
works to deliver a Decarbonisation Scheme for the Broadcut Depot over the next
12 months, which has been specifically designed to maximise the significant
government support available and now secured for this project.

 

Alongside this scheme, the
proposed Asset Management Plan ensures the provision of safe and
well-maintained premises at Broadcut Depot. 
Officers have undertaken a condition survey to identify essential
repairs, maintenance and improvements required in the financial years 2025/26
to 2029/30.  The information from the
condition survey has been formulated into an Asset Management Plan that
identifies the phased capital investment required over the next five years.  The report provides a summary of the essential
repairs, maintenance and improvements required and an estimated budget figure
for the works.

 

The report seeks Executive
agreement to appoint a contractor to deliver the Depot Decarbonisation Scheme
and this will allow a start early in 2026.
