Background:

 

This report set out the options appraisal for the project at All Faiths Children’s Community School in Strood.

 

It was noted that the project supported the Council’s strategy to provide improved accommodation for the school and Children’s Centre, which was currently insufficient to deliver the curriculum for its pupils; including 22 children with statements of special educational needs for significant hearing impairment using a total communication approach.

 

An exempt appendix set out details of the whole life costings/budget, fees payable and risk register for the project at All Faiths Children’s Community School.

 

The Procurement Board had considered this report on 19 January 2011 and had supported the recommendations as set out.
