RESOLVED:-

      i.        Cabinet agreed to the Phase 1 of the Carlton and Granville Centres site redevelopment being the refurbishment and reconfiguration of the Granville Centre to allow for an interim Enterprise Hub to be established.

    ii.        Cabinet delegated authority to Head of Estates Regeneration in consultation with the Lead Member for Regeneration, Growth, Employment and Skills to enter into all agreements with the Greater London Authority in respect for the funding for the refurbishment of the Granville Centre.

   iii.        Cabinet delegated authority to the Chief Executive in consultation with the Lead Member for Regeneration, Growth, Employment and Skills to enter into legal agreements, including any lease with the South Kilburn Trust (SKT) and also with the GLA to secure their funding contribution in return for project delivery of the interim Enterprise Hub by March 2018.

   iv.        Cabinet delegated authority to the Chief Executive in consultation with the Lead Member for Regeneration, Growth, Employment and Skills to oversee scheme development through further viability testing, local consultation, and planning consent;

    v.        Cabinet approved the procurement of an architecturally led multidisciplinary design team to develop a detailed planning application for redevelopment of Carlton and Granville Centres site as Phase 2 of the work by either:

-       calling off the Greater London Authority (GLA) and Transport for London (TfL) Architecture, Design and Urbanism Panel (ADUP) or such other appropriate OJEU compliant framework; and evaluating those tenders in accordance with the relevant Framework; or alternatively

-       carrying out an OJEU compliant procurement process and inviting tenders on the basis of the pre-tender considerations set out in paragraph 3.30 of this report and evaluating the tenders on the basis of the evaluation criteria set out in that paragraph

-       The cost of the design team and associated consultants is anticipated to be in the region of £1m. £350,000 has already been assigned to this project so the balance will be up to £650,000 to be funded “up-front” by the Council.

   vi.        Cabinet noted that irrespective of which procurement option detailed in 2.5 above is selected, officers will report back to Cabinet to seek Members’ approval to award the proposed contract, once a preferred design team has been identified.
