As detailed in the recommendations.

The Cabinet Member for Housing introduced the report which sought approval to appoint a development partner for the Council’s Strategic Housing and Regeneration Programme (SHARP).

            All Cabinet Members welcomed the report and congratulated all staff involved in the process.  The Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Environment suggested that a letter of thanks be sent by himself and the Chief Executive which was agreed.

RESOLVED:

(a)       That authorisation for the Chief Officer (Community and Enterprise) in conjunction with the Cabinet Member for Housing be approved to enter into the contract for the SHARP with the preferred bidder, subject to the Chief Officer receiving from the preferred bidder satisfactory confirmation of tender commitments; and

(b)       That in the event the Chief Officer (Community and Enterprise) (in her opinion) has not received satisfactory confirmation of tender commitments from the preferred bidder, the Chief Officer in conjunction with the Cabinet Member for Housing be approved to enter into the contract for the SHARP with the reserve bidder, subject to the Chief Officer receiving from the reserve bidder satisfactory confirmation of tender commitments.
