In accordance with the approved delegation
described in Box 3 of the ODR:
1. Approve the award of, and enter into contract with XXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXX as the preferred contractor for the two stage Design and
Build contract of the New Community Hub.

2. Enter into a PCSA agreement with a value of up to XXXXXXXXX with
XXXXXXXXXXX to enable the commencement of the Design and Enabling
works, with the understanding that should the land issue not be
resolved these costs may be incurred by

3. Subject to the land issue being resolved, enter into the NEC4
ECC contract for the construction of the New Community Hub. The
contract value is XXXXXXX. It is important to note that there is
the expectation that construction costs may increase, and value
engineering will be applied where possible to ensure the funding
allocation is not exceeded.

Alternative options considered

Option 1: Not Award Contract
Not awarding the contract until the land issue is resolved would
lead to delays in the delivery of the New Community Hub or not
delivering the building and the loss of Town Deal Fund. The outputs
and outcomes of the Town Deal Fund for this project would not be
achieved. The community expectations of delivering a New Community
Hub for Stainforth would not be realised and there would be a
negative public response for the loss of the Town Deal Fund.

Option 2: Retender when land issue resolved
Retendering the project when the land issue is resolved will extend
the timescale for delivery of the scheme and it is expected that
the costs would increase, potentially outside the budget for
delivery. The delay in appointing a contractor through retendering
will extend the delivery timescale significantly, may not deliver
the outputs and outcomes for the funding and result in a loss of
the funding.
