REASONS FOR THE DECISION
To seek the
Sub-Committee's approval of the Business Justification Case for the Welsh Sheep
Milk component of the Glynllifon Rural Economy Hub
project.
The draft Business
Justification Case would be submitted to the Sub-Committee in July to enable a
timely decision that would avoid delaying the delivery of the project.
Procurement for the project was currently live and a
decision was expected on 06/08/2025. The next meeting of the Sub-Committee was
not until October 2025 and would result in a delay in delivering the project if
the draft Business Justification Case and delegated authority were not
approved.
DISCUSSION
The Report was discussed.
