9. To acknowledge the Homes England funding programme.
Reasons for Recommendation(s):
1. To ensure that value for money for the Tatton development is achieved.
2. To ensure that procurement procedure rules are adhered to.
3. To ensure that the Homes England Funding programme is met.
4. To benefit from additional community support using the CIF.
Alternative Options Considered and Rejected:
1. OJEU procurement, this would not allow the Homes England funding timescales to be met.
2. Use an alternative framework. Other frameworks have been rejected as the Construction Impact Framework aligns with the aspirations of the Tatton Development to involve the community and will provide opportunities through the reinvestment of a proportion of the fee, to involve the community and make further improvements in the local area.
3. To use an alternative form of contract such as the JCT Design and Build Contract. This option has been rejected as the NEC 4 ECC offers a better mechanism for managing programme and risk.
