Decision:

To award a contract to Capita PLC for the provision of commercial and property advisory services to assist the Council progress regeneration across a range of sites in Tottenham and in the borough’s other major growth area, Wood Green, and other strategic sites across the borough.

Reasons for the decision:

There is a need for professional commercial and property advice to assist the council in progressing and delivering regeneration schemes and growth activities

Alternative options considered:

The following two options were also considered:
Not to award a contract – however, this would mean that the Council would not be able to call upon any professional commercial and property advice. The Council could not take the development and growth projects forward if it did not have the necessary expertise as the Council would be exposing itself to significant legal, financial and political risk.
To carry out the work in house – however, there is no resource within the Council that has the necessary experience, qualifications and expertise to deliver this advice.
