The Director of Children & Families agreed to:
Approve authority to spend and incur expenditure of £553,690 from capital scheme number 33178/BGE/LCA relating to costs associated with the bulge works at Leeds City Academy for September 2022.
Note revenue costs of £1,135,323 will also be incurred to fund the rental costs for the hired modular accommodation following handover.
Approve the report being exempt from “call in” due to the extremely tight programme and need for accommodation to be delivered for September 2022.
Note the programme dates identified in section 10 of this report require a decision before 8 June 2022 to ensure the additional accommodation can be delivered for the start of the 2022/2023 academic year (a decision can be taken from 6 June 2022)
Note that the officer responsible for implementation is the Head of Learning Systems in Children’s and Families Directorate.
