Issue details - New Homes for Neighbourhoods - Procurement of Sports Pavilion

This report explains why the Executive Director for Neighbourhoods, Communities and Housing exercised their Urgency Powers to enable officers to go through a different procurement route for the construction of the Sports Pavilion. The original scheme approved by Housing Committee in November 2018 stated that the scheme would be delivered through the council’s City Build Construction Partnership with Morgan Sindall. However, the costs came back too high for the council's QS to Best Value, so officers are using an existing Orbis Procurement Framework to go out to the market.
