Combined Executive Agenda 120410.pdf - North Ayrshire Council

2. Current Position
2.1 In order to enable the Garnock Campus project to make continued
progress it is necessary to prepare and submit key information to the
Scottish Government. The Council is required to submit a business
case to the Scottish Government, develop a detailed project plan and
establish a Project Delivery Structure.
Outline Project
2.2 It is anticipated that the overall timescale for completing the project will
be 3 years with an expected site start date of summer 2013. The
overall project may be considered in 2 main parts, namely, the
preparation of approvals and award of contract via the South West
hub and thereafter the construction of the new campus contained
within the programme.
2.3 The first stage of the programme to award the contract will involve
making external adviser appointments to assist the project delivery
team confirming the project is affordable to the Council, producing a
new project request to specify, evaluate, negotiate the project through
key stages 1, 2 and onto financial close.
An outline project programme can be found in Appendix 2.
Project Development and Management
2.4 A key element of the Scottish Government requirement is the
establishment of a project delivery team to take the project forward,
and this paper develops that.
