This project is part of Band B of the 21st Century Schools Programme and if approved will be jointly funded by Welsh Government and Swansea Council. The project provides for the extension and remodelling of the current Y G Gwyr school site enabling an increase in capacity of the school so that it can accommodate 1273 pupils and meet the current and projected demand. The project is subject to full business case approval by Welsh Government. This report is seeking approval to award the contract in accordance with Contract Procedure Rule 13.10 and commit the scheme to the capital programme in accordance with Financial Procedure 7.
The report submitted to Corporate Briefing will be subject to finalisation prior to a Special Cabinet on the 23 January once the tender process has been conducted in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and the Council’s Contract Procedure Rules. A Special Cabinet is required to enable Cabinet to approve the award of contract and commitment to the capital programme, at the earliest opportunity and to avoid any avoidable delay in the delivery of the project.
