The Deputy Chief Executive, in consultation
with the Leader of the Council, the Head of Legal, Democracy and HR
has:
• Agreed that the Council's Development Manager will provide
the contractor with a Letter of Intent for both the development of
the New Town Hall (and associated works) and the District Heat
Network, stating our intention to appoint the contractor and allow
them to undertake pre-contract works including finalising design,
procuring sub-contractors and preparatory works ahead of signing a
contract
• This period allows for the contract to be finalised, for
final due diligence checks to be made and for communications to be
agreed, without adversely impacting upon the programme.
• A further report will be brought prior to any final
appointment of a contractor for the New Town Hall and the District
Heat Network
