Purpose: To agree funding for a programme of works to deliver a Decarbonisation Scheme and five-year Asset Management Plan of essential repairs, maintenance and improvements for the Broadcut Depot.   To seek delegated authority to appoint a contractor to deliver the Decarbonisation Scheme, following a thorough procurement/tendered process.   The report provides details of works to deliver a Decarbonisation Scheme for the Broadcut Depot over the next 12 months, which has been specifically designed to maximise the significant government support available and now secured for this project.   Alongside this scheme, the proposed Asset Management Plan ensures the provision of safe and well-maintained premises at Broadcut Depot.  Officers have undertaken a condition survey to identify essential repairs, maintenance and improvements required in the financial years 2025/26 to 2029/30.  The information from the condition survey has been formulated into an Asset Management Plan that identifies the phased capital investment required over the next five years.  The report provides a summary of the essential repairs, maintenance and improvements required and an estimated budget figure for the works.   The report seeks Executive agreement to appoint a contractor to deliver the Depot Decarbonisation Scheme and this will allow a start early in 2026.
