To approves the procurement strategy for new build works at Lindley Estate and Bells Garden.

It was not possible to circulate this report five clear days in advance of the meeting. The chair agreed to consider this item as urgent as the scheme was due to go into planning shortly and any delay in the cabinet decision would push back the procurement time frames and the ability for the scheme to commence on start prior to May 2022.

RESOLVED:

1.  That the procurement strategy for new build works at Lindley Estate and Bells Garden at an estimated cost of £46,000,000 with an contract duration of a maximum of 4 years be approved.

2.  That the delegation of the gateway 2 award decision to the strategic director of housing and modernisation, in consultation with the cabinet member for housing, for the reasons outlined in paragraphs 38 to 39 of the report be approved.
