This report seeks approval to enter into a contract with a selected developer for the construction of a new sheltered housing scheme in Park Gate.
On 7th April 2014 the Executive approved a provisional budget to fund the construction of a new 36 unit sheltered housing scheme at the former Coldeast Hospital site in Park Gate.
Since the last report, the design for the scheme has been set and planning permission has been secured. In addition, £720,000 of grant funding has been secured from the Homes and Communities Agency’s 2015 – 2018 Affordable Homes Programme to help meet the costs of construction.
A two stage competitive tender has been conducted to identify a suitable contractor to construct the scheme and approval is now sought from the Executive to enter into contract with the recommended contractor to bring the scheme forward.
RESOLVED that the Executive agrees to:
(a) authorise the Director of Community to enter into contract with and accept the level of grant funding from the Homes and Communities Agency to support delivery of the project; and
(b) authorise the Director of Community to enter into contract with Drew Smith Limited to complete the proposed development
