heading in the Strategic Case.

The Director of Pittville University has resigned during the procurement process. As a result, the Deputy Director is now acting as Director. The other schools have now withdrawn their objections to Pittville University running the new campus. It is thought that
the delivery approach could be revised so that Pittville University manages all 16-18-year-olds education and further cost reductions could be achieved. There is no option in the OBC that provides this delivery approach with the service solution of a new
campus.
Should the preferred option be reviewed in the FBC? (Select one)

Since approval of the OBC, there has been an attractive bid for the Old Fire Station Headquarters site by a supermarket company.
The bid is 15% higher than the original amount that the site was valued at.

Springbank School has been hugely oversubscribed so has decided to expand its further education unit. It is working formally with
Battledown School to reduce course duplication and to potentially offer a greater range of education courses. The Governors from
Springbank School feel that these scheduled changes need to be reflected in the Pittville project FBC, even though Springbank
was not a shortlisted option.
Should the FBC be updated with the Springbank changes?
The new campus scheme will take three years to complete. Projected inflation over this period will mean that staffing costs will be 6%
higher when the campus is operational.
Should this increase be managed as a risk to the project?

qualifications. However, it has not proposed ways in which the success rates for qualifications can be increased.
