Issue details

Further to the approval given by the Executive to sell Ashbank as part of the Administration Accommodation Project Business case back in November 2005, the purpose of the report is to advise on the offers received and make a recommendation on the preferred bidder.

The Executive Member is asked to approve the proposed sale to the highest bidder.

To allow officers to conclude clarifications with preferred bidders, this item has been deferred to the 12 February Decision Session.

Due to a delayed number of planning issues that need to be resolved prior to the report coming forward for a decision, this item has been deferred and will be considered at the 12 March Decision Session.

This item has been deferred to 14 May Decision Session because further negotiations with the prospective purchasers continue to take place.

This item will fall under the Finance and Performance portfolio area.

This item has been deferred to 16 July Decision Session because the final bid is still to be agreed.

This item has been withdrawn from the 16 July Executive Leader (incorporating Finance and Performance) Decision Session because a significant length of time has elapsed since the original Executive approval was granted, therefore once negotiations have been completed this matter will be referred back to Executive for consideration.
