Harrogate Convention Centre Redevelopment

Recommendations

The Executive is asked to:

i)     Note the outcome of the final tendered price and programme for phase 1 of the redevelopment project for HCC.

ii)    Agree not to progress with the £57m construction contract for phase 1 improvements noting that by not accepting this contract this is not an end to investment in HCC.

iii)   To await the outcome of the SMT and options appraisal in Spring 2024.

iv)  Subsequently re-appraise the options noting the importance that the HCC site has on the economic GVA for Harrogate whilst being mindful upon the impact on the public purse and providing best value to the NY taxpayer. 

 v)  Pending the outcome of (iii) and (iv) above, to consider a planned improvement programme for HCC concentrating upon essential, timely building requirements with a commercial approach to future working.

vi)   Continue to establish, monitor, and manage asset risk until a longer-term solution is agreed.
