Some of the services provided include education, ecomonic development and the environment.

Project Description:

Phase 1

All three phases require prompt and collaborative input from the nominated principal stakeholders - RCC, VCC School Governors, Contractor, Henry Riley LLP as Cost Consultants & Employer's Agent.

The Design & Build Contractor for the refurbishment of all 12 no Primary Schools was appointed from the East Midlands Property Alliance (EMPA) framework to assist the tight programme and to assist economy across 12 no individual sites.

Key performance indicators are used by EMPA to ensure that all Contractors on their framework are meeting their responsibilities within time, cost and quality. These KPIs are being monitored by Rutland County Council and the Contractor, with appropriate input from ourselves.
