Issue - meetings

The purpose of this report is to give formal endorsement to a procurement and budget decision made by both the Stapleford Town Deal Executive Board and the Town Deal Delivery Board.  Broxtowe Borough Council needs to ratify this decision as overall Accountable Body for the programme.

Cabinet considered the report to give formal endorsement to a procurement and budget decision made by both the Stapleford Town Deal Executive Board and the Town Deal Delivery Board. The Council was the accountable body for the programme. The Stapleford Town Deal Executive Board had agreed a revised Local Assurance Framework that effectively formed a Town Deal Constitution and regulatory protocol.

RESOLVED that:

1. The Stapleford Town Deal’s Executive and Delivery Boards’ decisions to appoint VIA EM to design the whole town highway improvement scheme; provide detailed designs and construct the replacement car park on Derby Road be endorsed.

2.  An exemption to the Council’s Contract Procedure Rules be approved to allow   for The contract to be awarded without a full tender process being carried out.

Reason

The provision of the new car park is vital to facilitate the creation of the next stage of the Victoria Street Enterprise Hub and the commission of VIA EM would enable the construction of the car park once the design had attained planning permission.
