Decision details

To provide details of the capital budget requirement for Jubilee Square and to formally add the scheme to the capital programme; and to seek approval for delegated authority to award the construction contract.

1.     Approve the capital budget requirement of up to £4m for the development of Jubilee Square (the funding for which is already approved in principle within the Economic Action Plan, phase 1) and addition of the scheme to the capital programme.

2.     Delegate authority to the Director of Planning, Transportation and Economic Development to award the construction contract to the most economically advantageous tender.

In order to progress the delivery of the Jubilee Square scheme to programme there is a need to confirm funding and progress the appointment of a contractor following the assessment of tender submissions.

Design options have been considered and amendments to the scheme made during the development and consultation stages of the project.
