Decision details

An order was placed with a contractor for the value of £899k to carry out a detailed program of works that needs to be completed prior to the school opening in September 2024.

Failure to carry out these works would result in the school not being able to operate to full capacity, this also ensures the school meets its statutory obligation for Fire Safety and other H&S works.

All costs associated to the project are part of the SSMP grant funding allocation.

Decision was made to carry out urgent works at Woodeaton Manor school following the recent Ofsted report highlighting numerous issues with site security and safety.

Due to the urgency of the works and the short timescales required it  was agreed an exception report was the most appropriate route to follow as to specify, procure and mobilize a project of such complexity would have taken several months.
