Part B - Matters Referred to Council
42. Capital Programme - Monitor 1, 2020/21
[See also under Part A Minutes]
The Corporate Finance & Commercial Procurement Manager presented a report which set out the projected out-turn position for the 2020/21 financial year, along with requests to re-profile budgets to and from current and future years.
A decrease of £12.827m on the current approved programme was reported, resulting in a revised programme for 2020/21 of £181.221m. Variances against each portfolio area were set out in Table 1 at paragraph 15 of the report and detailed in paragraphs 16-59. In relation to the Wi-Fi procurement detailed in paragraph 59, an amendment to the recommendation was made due to further advice received after publication of the report.
In the light of the Covid-19 pandemic, a review of the current programme had been carried out to ensure that planned investment was consistent with the recovery plan. This had concluded that most projects could continue as planned, subject to close monitoring and back up plans where appropriate.
Members welcomed the report, highlighting key achievements in the programme and thanking officers for their work on the review.
Recommended: That Council approve the adjustments resulting in a decrease of £12.827m in the 2020/21 budget, as detailed in the report and contained in Annex A.
Reason: To enable the effective management and monitoring of the council’s capital programme.
