Decision:
The Council is required to make optimum use of its corporate
assets in keeping with its statutory duty for “best value”. The Council
approved the first phase of ADP in April 2020. Since then a series of changes
have been made to the scope of the programme following relevant cabinet
approvals over the last three years. In accordance with these approvals,
changes were made to the instructions and brief for the consultants at relevant
stages. In February 2023, the Cabinet approved a further iteration and sought
more work to refresh the demand analysis, impact assessments and options
appraisals. To fulfil these commitments, further work needs to be undertaken.
The capacity and skill set within the corporate property team is limited to
undertake such multi-disciplinary works. Therefore external advice through
framework is sought. The team of consultants including architects, planners,
cost consultants, quantity surveyors, estate surveyors and property agents have
been working on this project over the last couple of years. It is proposed to
extend the current contract to complete this phase of works by continuing to
work with the same team to maintain continuity and reduce the time and cost for
the Council in appointing a new team.
