Minutes:
The Report of the Portfolio Holder for Skills, Planning Economy & Waste to seek approval of expenditure above £100k limit from a secured budget for the purpose of completing essential capital works at Tamworth Castle.
The Chair invited the Chair of the Infrastructure Safety & Growth Scrutiny Committee to report to Cabinet following that Committee’s consideration of this item at its meeting on 19th January 2022.
The Scrutiny Chair reported that the Infrastructure Safety & Growth Scrutiny Committee had resolved to recommend to Cabinet that:

- previous contractors performance be taken into account in the tender appraisal.
The Portfolio Holder for Skills, Planning Economy & Waste confirmed his support for these recommendations.
Cabinet considered the recommendations in the Report and the Scrutiny Committee’s recommendation, and amended recommendation 2 and added a further recommendation.
