Decision details

The Committee asked what social value this project would have for the residents of the Borough. The Sustainability & Flood Risk Officer advised the Committee that he would liaise with Bidder A and email all Committee members after the meeting with the response.

The Environment and Sustainability Committee and the Climate Change Working Group would receive regular updates on the project once it commenced and also once completed to ensure that it is monitored.

The Committee resolved to:

1.    Approve the recommended tender option,

2.    Approve the Council entering into a contract (subject to the required standstill period) with the recommended bidder,

3.    Authorise the Group Head of Corporate Governance to be delegated to enter into the contract and any other associated documentation in connection with the solar car park project; and

4.    Agree a supplementary capital estimate for the current year.
