Report HPR2024/019

A Report to Executive on 30^th November 2022 set out the recommendation to purchase the freehold of the Direct Line site known as Churchill Court with a view to moving the Council offices off the Civic Centre site and subsequent disposal.  As part of that report, Members agreed to the provision of a new Health & Wellbeing Centre for Bromley town centre. 

On 17^th May 2023 a follow-up report was shared with the Executive which set out details of the conversion of the 1^st Floor offices within Phase Four, Churchill Court to provide a new NHS Health & Wellbeing Centre (HWBC).  Following that agreement Council officers have been working with colleagues in the NHS to design the new public facility, obtain planning consent, building control approval, agree funding and finalising the lease terms. This report, together with the accompanying Part 2 report, set out the outcomes of that exercise and sought permission to continue with the next steps.

The Part 2 report set out the outcome of the tender process and award of contract for the construction works.  It also detailed the capital project budget and terms agreed with the NHS Integrated Care Board (ICB) for the share of capital funding and lease terms.  In addition, the report updated Members on the overall project timetable.

The report was considered by the Executive, Resources and Contacts PDS Committee at its meeting on 20 May 2024 and the Committee supported the proposals.
