Decision details

To obtain approval for the award of a build contract between Wiltshire Council and Rydon Construction Limited for the construction of The Vale Health and Wellbeing Centre in Pewsey.

DECISION MADE

I approve the award of a build contract between Wiltshire Council and Rydon Construction Limited for the construction of The Vale Health and Wellbeing Centre in Pewsey.

This decision was published on 30 March 2017 and will come into force on 7 April 2017.

The Vale Health and Wellbeing Centre is part of the council’s campus and community hub programme and is intrinsic to its vision to create stronger and more resilient communities. It is fundamental to supporting inclusive and healthier communities and the provision of accessible services.

As the delivery of a health and wellbeing centre was within the approved budget and reflected community need, the decision is to proceed. The option not to proceed was therefore not considered.

The cabinet member for communities, campuses, area boards and broadband has regularly updated cabinet on The Vale Health and Wellbeing Centre and has hosted and attended meetings to update and inform the local community. These meetings included local unitary and parish councillors, neighbouring school representatives and members of the SCOB, representing the local community on behalf of the area board.

The community has been involved and updated throughout the design process through regular area board updates
