The Cabinet approved the Final Business Case for Bishop of Rochester Academy and authorised the Director of Children and Adults, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Children’s Services, to submit it to Partnerships for Schools for approval. |

81/2011 |
The Cabinet agreed to the award of the contract to construct new buildings for Bishop of Rochester Academy to BAM Construction Limited using the Partnerships for Schools (PfS) Design & Build Lump Sum Contract for use with the PfS Contractor Framework along with the PfS Development Agreement. |

|
The Cabinet noted the governance arrangements described in section 7 of the report. |
Reasons:
The use of the Partnerships for Schools (PfS) National Framework for the procurement of the Design and Build Contractor is the best option to allow delivery of the new Academy Buildings within the desired timeframes.
The submission of a completed Final Business Case is required by PfS, before works can commence.
