New Pupil Places |
The Urgency Report of 2018 agreed the allocation of £15m funding for secondary schools. The majority of works at Hove Park, Patcham High and Varndean Schools have been completed. Further works have been undertaken at Dorothy Stringer and Blatchington Mill. Final costs for these works are awaited before proceeding with the balance of the schools’ allocations. Design work at Longhill is currently progressing and with a view to complete procurement and carry out works over the summer of 2023. A major SEND project of circa £4.0m was designed and procured for the Central Hub. As reported previously due to unforeseen circumstances this project has had to be put on hold while changes have been made to the management of the site and a contract for the scheme has now been awarded. Final design work is underway and the contractor will start on site by the end of January. Phased completion of the work is planned for the beginning of September and November 2023. The budget is currently forecasting an outturn figure of £2.290m in 2022/23. As a result, a carry forward of £12.496m to meet ongoing commitments is required. £7.812m of this was detailed in the Education Capital Investment Report and is required in 2024/25. |

Design Competition |
Construction was due to commence in January 2023. However there have been delays in signing the contract with the selected contractor, due to the challenging market and procurement issues that needed to be resolved. In addition to this Frederick Street is still awaiting Highways approval for the construction logistic plan and hoarding licence which involves the suspension of disabled parking bays in Frederick St, requiring its own resident consultation, and relocation of on-street bins by City Clean. Costs will be incurred during 2023/24 and it is still forecast that the Frederick Street and Rotherfield crescent will be met within the overall budget approval given. |

Moulsecoomb Hub - Housing |
The majority of costs this financial year relates to the Property & Design fees charged to new developments, as a result of work still being undertaken on developing the Agreed Maximum Price (AMP) a retention of these charges is being held back until costs have been formally agreed, these will be charged during 2023/24. All forecast costs are expected to remain within the budget envelope approved to bring this project up to RIBA stage 4 design. |

Windlesham Close |
Reprofile of less than £0.100m. |
|
Variance |
2,111 |
|
The overspend of £2.111m on the original approved budget, relates to the total project costs for both the Sports Pavilion and Housing schemes. 60% of the overspend is attributable to overruns in the construction costs above the Agreed Maximum Price for both the Sports Pavilion and Housing Scheme. Both schemes have been constructed during a time of great uncertainty as a result of Brexit, the Pandemic and the war in the Ukraine, which is having a considerable impact on the UK economy and the construction market. This, together with the tightening up of Fire Safety Regulations post Grenfell, has significantly contributed to the uplift in project costs. The remaining 40% of the overspend is attributable to the extra professional fees associated with the detailed design stages of the Housing scheme. The scheme has required greater design coordination from the Lead Architect and input from specialist designers than was originally anticipated. A summary of Lessons Learnt on the project has been shared with the Housing Supply Programme and Members Boards as well as the council’s Strategic Construction Partnership with Morgan Sindall. |

A third round for grant funding has been approved for the purchase of another 10 homes under this programme, equating to £0.600m. Revenue grant has also been received to fund on-going running costs to support these tenants.

Home Purchase Scheme |
The budget will not be fully spent this year due to the number of completions for the home purchase scheme not reaching the target number. This is unfortunately due to less properties becoming available to assess and purchase over the year. However, it is anticipated that additional commitments will be made during quarter 4 with the completions for these properties now due to take place in 2023/24. |

It is now expected for this transfer to take place in April 2023 and as such the budget needs to be reprofiled to match this timeline. |

Kitchens |
There has been a significant underperformance by our planned works contractor for Kitchen and Bathroom replacements which has resulted in an underspend. To address this performance issue going forward, approval has been given by Housing Committee (16th Nov) to procure up to two further contractors for this work stream. Procurement is likely to take 3 months so it is unlikely that there will be a significant change in spend on this budget until next financial year. Work continues with the current contractor on improving. |

The installation of new network services to BHCC sites (purchased from MLL Telecom under the SEG Framework) is expected to be completed during the period March-September 2023. The work is dependent on core infrastructure services being delivered first, and this is not anticipated to complete until March. Based on this, it is expected that the majority of BHCC site installations will not be undertaken and invoiced for until the 2023/24 financial year, but some budget should be retained in 2022/23 to allow for any services that may go live within March. |
