To consider a report of the Cabinet Member for Children’s Services and Learning seeking approval to submit the Final Business Case to Partnerships for Schools, complete financial close of the project and to add £16million to this project within the Capital Programme.
Following the appointment of Carillion as the preferred bidder for both of the authority’s academies projects in March 2010, a significant amount of design work has been undertaken on the Lord’s Hill scheme, in order to develop it to a stage upon which financial close can be reached. With the design now nearing completion and with a view to achieving financial close on this project in the first quarter of 2011, the project team now seeks a Cabinet Decision to secure the necessary internal Council consents required to take this forward.
