Decision Maker: Leader of the Council and Corporate Finance & Governance Portfolio Holder
Decision published: 07/01/2025
Effective from: 15/01/2025
Decision:
To approve the direct commissioning of David
Hills, Director of DSDHA, a specialist in urban design to support
the High Street Accelerator (HSA) Seed Funding and Green Space
Funding Projects. This will ensure that the HSA Partnership can
achieve maximum impact for the area.
David Hills was initially recommended to the High Street
Accelerator (HSA) Partnership by the HSA Team within the Ministry
of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) as part of
their package of free support and has already met with the
partnership, carried out site visits and provided advice during the
early stages of the funding.
This commission will ensure consistency and will build on existing
knowledge of the green space projects and seed funding projects
while delivering maximum impact for the community and aligning with
the Capital Regeneration Project regarding public realm being
delivered by Essex County Council.
Further to this the HSA has a critical deadline for the funding to
be committed by 30 June 2025, which will be challenging with the
green space projects if a full procurement exercise is carried out
and would add a greater level of risk which may require the funding
to be returned to MHCLG
This Decision makes a direct award to David Hills to enable support
to maximise the offer to High Street Accelerator Partnership and
the greater community
