3.    To note that the 2021/22 CPMP monitoring report be prepared for the Cabinet Member every quarter to track the delivery of projects and show any deviations over or under £25,000 compared to the original key decision report for the year. Projects with variations under £25,000 are to be reported in the summary as a financial adjustment within the report. The overall programme will be reported through the Corporate Quarterly Capital Monitor to Cabinet.

4.    To note that the procurement of capital plant and equipment, works, and services contained within the programme detailed in this report will  be procured in line with Contract Standing Orders.

1.         The 2021/22 Capital Programme approved by Full Council on 25 February 2021 included the approved budget for Corporate Planned Maintenance and delegated approval of the detailed programmes for use of the rolling programmes to the relevant SLT Director in consultation with the Director of Finance and relevant Lead Cabinet Member. This report therefore sets out the programme for Corporate Planned Maintenance for approval in line with that delegation.

2.         A Key Decision is required to provide proposals for the funding and delivery of the 2021/22 CPMP programme and to obtain approval, which is a fundamental element of the Council’s asset strategy for investing capital investment to reduce the backlog of maintenance to ensure its retained core assets are fit for purpose.
