Major Capital Projects

Yes some pre-feasibility work has been carried out at no cost to date.

- VCP Replacement School - £17,000,000
Please could you advise whether any pre-feasibility work has been carried out for (i) and (ii)? If so, at what cost? If not, does this amount include pre-feasibility work?
- Please could you provide a full breakdown of these amounts and what they will cover? It is not possible to provide a full breakdown at this early stage of these projects. The capital sums above for major building projects typically cover, construction, associated and professional fees.
- Do you consider that this funding is sufficient to meet the aims of these projects? Yes, these sums were calculated at a high level with the expertise of Jersey Property Holdings officers and at this early stage are still considered sufficient.
- How will value for money be ensured throughout the delivery of these projects?
CYPES, Property Holdings, Commercial Services and others are all well experienced in procuring contracts for capital build projects such as these. Value for money is ensured through rigorous procurement processes inline with best practice and active contract management throughout the lifecycle.
