2. To approve the weighting and evaluation criteria.

Reasons for Recommendation(s):
To allow for the progression of the Tatton development design and planning.
Alternative Options Considered and Rejected:
Delay progressing the procurement of an architect until after budget approval at Full Council on 7 April 2020. This option would jeopardise obtaining Homes England funding as we would not be able to deliver the scheme within the Homes England imposed completion date of before 31 March 2022.
