Advice of the Advisory Panel:

That the Executive Member:

1. Give approval for the supported bids to go ahead
2. Recommend that all successful bidders undertake to deliver the outcomes described in their bids with their funding allocation
3. Give approval for the conditional bids to go ahead, providing that schools agree to meet the additional conditions relevant to their project.
4. Recommend that projects currently below the line are further developed with Directorate staff and, if a higher score can be achieved and funding is available, these projects come forward for approval in the quarterly Capital Monitoring reports.

Decision of the Executive Member:

RESOLVED: That the advice of the Advisory Panel be accepted and endorsed.

REASON:                  To enable the DfES funding to be spent on appropriate projects within the required timescale, to mitigate the risks of overspending against this cash-limited budget, to ensure that DfES and corporate objectives are fulfilled and to ensure that funding is spent within the time limits and best value is achieved.
