Decision details

Resolved

(1)          That the progress being made towards achieving completion of the maximum number of projects between December 2016 and 31 March 2017 be noted.

(2)          That the management intervention taken be noted and the implementation of an intensive project management approach in respect of those schemes being completed by Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council (SMBC) and the revised programme be supported and it be further noted that costs are intended to be recovered, although the split between utilising elements of the management fee previously allocated to SMBC for the original programme and those additional procurement costs to complete schemes through CDC resources have yet to be finally agreed.  These negotiations should be concluded at the Commercial Meeting on 17 January 2017.

(3)          That a “mixed approach” to the delivery of remaining schemes be supported so that those schemes not being completed through SMBC can, if necessary, be procured through CDC’s own resources and delivered within budgets approved.
