Relevant Overview and Scrutiny Committee: Children and Adults

97/2009 The Cabinet agreed to appoint Mace to provide Project Management and Technical Advisory services relating to the construction of three Academies in the areas of Strood, Gillingham and Chatham respectively, subject to the inclusion by Council on 18 June 2009 of the scheme in the Council's Capital Programme.

The planned date for delivery of the three proposed Academies, with the first due to be built and in use by September 2012, is in part dependent on procuring the necessary advisory services to support the development of our outline business case, and the procurement of a preferred bidder for their design and build.Mace's tender was the most economically advantageous tender with respect to quality and price.
