REASON FOR DECISION
|
|
|||||||||
|
The Executive approved at its meeting on 19 October 2021 to approve the community centre budget and agreed to forward fund including ancillary costs), the capital costs of the Health part of the building, on the basis that the consequent capital financing costs will be covered by any capital contributions secured by the CCG and/or the long-term rental income from the Health provider.

ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS CONSIDERED
|
|
|||||||||
|
The design and cost plan has been developed through the pre-construction services agreement using the London Construction Framework for a two-stage tendering process. Alternatively, the Council could procure the works stage contract by organising a new procurement exercise but this would lead to significant delay in meeting the requirements for the health funding.
