3. Minor Works Capital Programme 2005/06

3.1 Littlefold Family Centre, Waterlooville

The Executive Member for Education on 26 October 2005 approved proposals to provide a range of inter-agency services from the Littlefold Family Centre which are consistent with the aims of the Children's Centre strategy. The estimated cost of the scheme to adapt existing buildings is £200,000, excluding fees. Funding of £174,000, excluding fees, is available from the Sure Start Children's Centre capital and £26,000, excluding fees, from the DfES General Sure Start Grant.

4. NDS Modernisation Programme 2005/06 - Schools Specialist Accommodation Programme

4.1 The four secondary schools, Brune Park Community College, Cowplain Community School, Noadswood School and Test Valley School have been awarded funding from the 2005/06 NDS Modernisation Programme - Schools Specialist Accommodation Programme, for the refurbishment of science laboratories. Funding of £43,103, excluding fees, has been made for each laboratory to be refurbished.

4.2 It is proposed that work at the four schools be split into two packages with Brune Park and Noadswood in one package and Cowplain and Test Valley as a second package. Work will comprise the refurbishment of two science laboratories at Noadswood School and one science laboratory at each of the three remaining schools.

4.3 Additional funding of £70,000 from Brune Park, £50,000 from Cowplain and £40,000 from The Noadswood School has been combined with the NDS Modernisation funding to further enhance the refurbishment works. Additional funding from Test Valley School has yet to be identified. Full financial details can be found in the table below.

4.4 It is intended to procure the first package of work at Brune Park and Noadswood schools with the preferred contractor, Dart and Son (Builders) Ltd, under the SME Framework. Work is due to commence on site during January 2006 and be completed during March 2006.

4.5 The second package of work will be further spilt with the work at Cowplain School being procured with Nolan Davis Contracting under the SME Framework. Work at Cowplain will commence on site during January 2006 and be completed during March 2006.

4.6 Following detailed discussions with Test Valley School, it is proposed that work at this school is arranged to for the summer of 2006. This is primarily due to the lack of alternative teaching accommodation for use during the refurbishment works.

Recommendation

1. That the changes to the minor works programme be approved.
