Decision details

The Committee resolved:-

(i)       to note in general terms the reasoning why individual project delay and additional costs are expected, across the delivery of capital projects in terms of their full project life cycle;

(ii)      to note that officers continued to work with contractors on the financial implications of the programme delay and implications for future works, as a result of the COVID-19 virus requiring changing work practices across the full programme of projects;

(iii)      to note the implications of what this means for future consideration within project Outline Business Cases of any new projects;

(iv)     to note the actions which Officers are carrying out to mitigate the expected impacts; and

(v)      to instruct the Chief Officer Capital to report any significant progress, in regard to the above, for each Capital Project reported to the Capital Programme Committee.
