Childcare Offer Programme

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

To seek approval to enter into a contract for the construction phase of the Childcare Offer Programme.

Decisions:

The Chief Officer (Education & Youth) introduced the report which sought approval to enter into a contract for the construction phase of the Childcare Offer Programme.

 

            A commercial offer for the programme had been provided which offered cost certainty.  Revenue implications had been tested through submission of school business case and only the projects that had demonstrated that they were viable and sustainable had been chosen to proceed.

 

            The funding allocation to the proposed project at Ysgol Brynford had increased.  It was not possible to utilise balances from other funding streams nor was it feasible to reduce the project scope and Cabinet were requested to authorise the £50k shortfall from the Council’s capital headroom.

 

RESOLVED:

 

(a)       That Cabinet approves entering into a contract for the construction phase of the Childcare Offer Programme; and

 

(b)       That Cabinet approves that the £50k shortfall on the proposed project at Ysgol Brynford be funded from the Council’s capital headroom.
