Decision details

Goldthorpe Energy Strategy Support (ODD/097/2021)

Decision Maker: Executive Director Place

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

To appoint a Consultant to provide support to determine the scope for an energy strategy for the new site to reduce its carbon footprint.

 

The value of the commission is £9200

Reasons for the decision:

Business case support is required due to complexity of issue and associated timelines for approval.  Arup have previously been used to develop the bid to Government for funding and Arup have developed data, financial, and geospatial models that will be needed in developing the project to full business case.

Due to these reasons a waiver was recommended.

 

Alternative options considered:

Project could be developed using in - house skills – Insufficient skills in-house and work already undertaken by Arup would need to be replicated introducing additional cost and resource implications which would impact timelines.

 

Commissioning a different consultant at this stage would mean replicating a lot of the work already undertaken by Arup which would impact on costs and timelines.
