Design Competition |
There has been a delay on letting the construction contract for Frederick Street following an unsuccessful tender exercise in April 21 and the need to re-tender. This has caused a delay to the project meaning spend has been lower than anticipated. There has now been a successful tender exercise which means the project can progress. Rotherfield Crescent has achieved planning permission, however, there was considerable delay in obtaining consent and this has delayed the tender for the construction contract and RIBA stage 4 development. The project will now begin construction in the next financial year subject to further budget approval by P&R Committee. |

Windlesham Close |
Further unforeseen work on the procurement of the project’s architects and the Strategic Construction Partnership have delayed progress on this site, resulting in a delay in spend. It is anticipated that any outstanding work will be completed by Summer 2022 when focus will turn to the programme of delivery, anticipated to begin in 2023/24. Costs incurred this financial year remain within the budget envelope approved for the project. |

Victoria Road |
There are number factors over the last 2 years during which this project was being delivered affecting the economic environment, which is having a considerable impact on the construction market. This, together with the tightening up of Fire Safety Regulations as a result of the inquiry into Grenfell, has directly contributed to total scheme costs being £1.4m over the original approved budget. The project is delivering new technologies requiring specialist input from designers, this was not originally anticipated. |

Structural Repairs |
Mobilising the new Housing Investment & Asset Management service and works contracts has led to changes to the planned start date for major projects. Procurement, resident engagement, and leaseholder consultation continues to be undertaken during this stage. Therefore, this budget needs to be reprofiled to 2023/24 to reflect the revised spend profile. This will continue to be monitored and updated throughout the financial year. |

Housing Joint Venture purchases |
The development agreements will be triggered once the Golden brick milestone is met from a legal perspective. This is expected to be in the summer of 2023. Once this has been triggered, the council will be liable to pay the contributions due for all stages of construction that have been passed since construction started. Forecast expenditure remains within the budget approved at the October 2020 Policy & Resources Committee. |
