To recommend for the Civic Centre to be partly occupied by the Black Country and West Birmingham Clinical Commissioning Group for their new headquarters on commercial terms, creating a revenue income stream for the Council.

Councillor Jaqueline Sweetman presented, as part of the Council's Assets Programme, a proposal for the partial utilisation of the Civic Centre for third party occupation by the NHS Black Country and West Birmingham Clinical Commissioning Group, on a leasehold basis for their newly established Black Country Central Office.

Resolved:

1.    That the partial utilisation of the Civic Centre for third party occupation by the NHS Black Country and West Birmingham Clinical Commissioning Group (CCGs) Central Office on commercial terms be approved.

2.    That authority be delegated to the Cabinet Member for City Assets and Housing, in consultation with the Deputy Chief Executive, to finalise the Heads of Terms, Rental Charges and occupation terms for the CCGs’ occupation.

3.    That authority be delegated to the Cabinet Member for City Assets and Housing, in consultation with the Deputy Chief Executive to authorise any changes in accommodation design due to the CCGs’ occupation.

4.    That it be noted that the occupation of the Civic Centre by selected third parties would enable business cases to be developed for the investment into the Civic Centre and other Council property assets.
