REASONS FOR THE DECISION
To seek the Board's approval to the Full
Business Case for the Former North Wales Hospital project.
The Board had approved the Outline Business Case for the project on 2
February 2024. The project had undertaken a Gateway 3 Review in April 2024 and
received an Amber rating from the review team with 9 recommendations. These
recommendations were currently being reviewed by Ambition North Wales,
Denbighshire Council and Jones Bros, with a view to agreeing on actions between
the parties.
Jones Brothers Ruthin Development Holdings Ltd would be the grant
recipient and would commission Jones Brothers Ruthin Civil Engineering Limited
to undertake the Phase 1 works using their approved sub-contractors when
required. The company was now publishing a Full Business Case for the Board to
make a final investment decision.
