The draft Greater Manchester Spatial Framework
(GMSF) identified a number of strategic allocations for the
delivery of housing and employment growth across Greater
Manchester, including several in Oldham. Consultants have been
appointed by Oldham, Bury and Rochdale to carry out high level
concept planning for the Northern Gateway (NG), which includes NG2
and NG3.
The Council would like exemption to the Contract Procedure Rules to
allow the existing contractor to continue and undertake concept
planning for the remaining strategic allocations proposed as part
of the Draft GMSF.
RESOLVED - That:exemption to the Contract
Procedure Rules is granted, to allow the concept planning for the
remaining strategic allocations proposed as part of the Draft GMSF
to be carried out.
Option 1 - to grant an exemption from the
Contract Procedure Rules and allow IBI Group to carry out the high
level concept planning of the remaining strategic allocations
proposed as part of the GMSF.
Option 2 - to draw a line under the work done to date and
re-procure a contractor to carry out the high level concept
planning of the remaining strategic allocations proposed. This
option would cause delays to the project and preparation of the
GMSF.
Option 2 to draw a line under the work done to
