Decision details

On 27th July 2011, Executive Board approved an unsupported borrowing scheme up to £3.01m to install solar photovoltaic (PV) systems onto corporate buildings (above Executive Board meeting, minute: 54), and delegated powers to the Director of Resources to authorise the spend, of which £1.38m remains available. Three new PFI leisure centres have met the approval of the Director of City Development on their suitability for PV installation, allowing further detailed building surveys to deliver the final business case. Approval is now required by the Director of Resources on the basis of this business case, to authorise the spend for the 3 proposed solar PV installations at Armley Leisure Centre, Morley Leisure Centre, and Holt Park Active.
Under the terms of the PFI contract the Council has to request any such changes to these facilities through the PFI Contractor, therefore alternative procurement routes were not considered. Accompanying this DDN are the building specific financial models passed by Financial Performance Group, and the combined business case report.
