CAPITAL BUDGET MONITORING REPORT – 31 MARCH 2024 
1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 
1.1 This report provides an update on the position of the capital budget as at 31 March
2024. The report provides information on the financial position in respect of the
capital plan and the performance in terms of delivery of capital plan projects. 
1.2  Financial Position: 
 Outturn for 2023-24 – actual net expenditure for the full financial year is
£37,860k compared to an annual budget of £33,166k giving rise to an
overspend for the year of £4,694k (14.15%). This variance is after previously
agreed slippage of £27,837k that has been approved throughout 2023-24
therefore budgets will be re-profiled accordingly.   
 Total Capital Plan – forecast total net project costs on the total capital plan
are £219,771k compared to a total budget for all projects of £219,771k. No
variance is projected.  
1.3 Project Delivery: 
 Asset Sustainability – Out of 96 projects there are 84 projects (87%) on track
and 12 projects (13%) off track but recoverable.
 Service Development - Out of 44 projects there are 40 projects (91%) on
track and 4 projects (9%) off track but recoverable.
 Strategic Change – Out of 29 projects there are 19 projects (66%) on track
and 10 projects (34%) off track but recoverable.  
1.4 
1.5 
The Capital Programme is funded by various income streams as detailed in
Appendix 3. Additional funding has been added for 2023-24 CFCR, STTS Income
for Roads, Scottish Government Grants for Bus Partnership Fund and Road Safety
Improvement Fund, third party contributions from Live Argyll and HSCP, Crown
Estates Allocation, Strategic Housing Fund contribution and additional allocation of
Rural Growth Deal funding. 
Originally the Council was projecting £1,195k of capital receipts this financial year
which was then revised to £484k. Actual receipts of £622k have been received
which will reduce the income target for 2024-25. The estimated level of receipts for
future years will be kept under review as market conditions change; as will values
following due diligence undertaken by prospective purchasers on the condition of
asset.

2.0  INTRODUCTION

This report provides an update on the position of the capital budget as at 31 March
2024. The report provides information on the financial position in respect of the capital
plan and the performance in terms of delivery of capital plan projects. 
Following the decision at Policy and Resources Committee on 9 December 2021, the
Rothesay Pavilion project was put on pause whilst potential funding options were
being considered. At the budget meeting in February 2023 additional funding was
allocated to this project which will allow the project to progress towards success by
supporting completion of certain work stages. Further information regarding the
progress of this project will be reported during 2024-25 once tenders have been
received and finalised. The financial information included within this report includes
amounts relating to Phase 1 only of the Rothesay Pavilion project. 
Surveys have been completed in the Councils Learning Estates in relation to
RAAC with only 1 building confirmed as having it present with steps underway for its
removal. This will include a decant of the students for approximately 9 months plus
total removal and replacement of the roof during 2024-25. Funding of £3m was
considered as part of the 2024-25 budget setting process and additional funding was
allocated as agreed at the Council meeting on 22nd February 2024. 
The Councils bid to the Scottish Governments Learning Estate Investment Programme
(LEIP) for funding for a new school campus on Mull was successful. While this is good
news and will provide welcome investment in the school estate it does come with a
financial pressure that is required to be funded if the project is to proceed. The
Scottish Government will fund up to 50% of eligible costs therefore the Council will be
required to fund circa £20m prior to any associated borrowing costs. A Members
seminar was held on the 12th April 2024 and a report subsequently presented to
Council on 25th April outlining the financial, economic, community and educational
implications of the proposed campus. Members agreed that up to £5m from the
previously agreed earmarked LEIP funding could be used to commence the Business
Case, undertake engagement exercises, commence the site selection process and
establish governance arrangements. To progress with the project beyond this point
Members will consider the capital and revenue budget provision required as part of the
budget setting process. 
As a result of significant rainfall Argyll and Bute Council activated the Bellwin scheme
in relation to the recovery costs associated with the incident. The funding from this
scheme is welcomed however eligibility criteria of costs are restrictive. Capital
expenditure does not qualify therefore any long term replacements to infrastructure
such as bridges cannot be claimed through the scheme therefore if not already part of
the capital programme required to be funded. Works to the value of £1.8m have been
carried out already with future anticipated works costing circa £2.5m being identified,
both which will require capital funding. As a result of this borrowing of £4.3m to fund
the capital costs not eligible through the Bellwin Scheme was considered as part of the
2024-25 budget setting process and agreed at the Council meeting on 22nd February
2024.

A £1m cost pressure was identified during 2021-22 in relation to repairs to the A884
Ardbeg Sea Wall, where severe storm damage resulted in failure of the sea wall on
Bute. Emergency works were carried out and a permanent solution is currently being
developed. Additional funding of £1m was allocated for this purpose at the Council
meeting on 24 February 2022 however there remains a risk that costs will exceed this.
The tender for this project is being developed with the current aim to have a contractor
on site by Spring/Summer 2025, final costs will be known once tenders are returned
early in 2024-25. 
The impact of the pandemic along with the UK exit from the European Union, the
Russian invasion of Ukraine and sanctions on Russian owned entities continues to
result in significant price increases as well as disruptions to the supply chain and
longer lead in times. The increased rate of inflation impacts costs such as energy
prices, labour, packaging and transport. These all have an effect on the overall
contract price and make it extremely challenging to manage expenditure and the
availability of supply. 
As a result of this it should be noted that there are likely to be other significant financial
impacts which are not quantifiable at this stage, as follows: 
 Rothesay Pavilion – despite additional funding being awarded there remains a
funding gap to allow full completion of the original intended works. 
 Harbour Investment Programme – likely to be contractual cost increases in
future years (expected to be funded from increased fees and charges).
 Universal Free School Meals – roll out to P6 and P7 has been confirmed but
capital funding levels available from the Scottish Government are still unknown. 
 Bridges Fund - A scheme of bridge capital works was developed and 80%
funded through the Local Bridge Maintenance Fund with £5.450m of funding
approved. Increased capital contract costs from when the scheme was
developed to now, has the schemes costing approximately £12m. A request for
the original funding to be approved to cover a smaller scheme with less bridges
has been sent to Scottish Government and awaits a response. 
 In general, capital contracts across the programme are seeing significant price
increases. 
Although the direct impact of COVID on most local services has reduced or even
ceased altogether over the last 12 months, COVID-19 in conjunction with the UK exit
from the European Union and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, continues to affect
worldwide supply chains. 
In recent years additional funding of £10.803m has been allocated to the capital
programme for this purpose which has mitigated the impact to date however, as
detailed in the table below. An additional £0.297m was considered as part of the 2024-
25 budget setting process and this additional funding was allocated as agreed at the
Council meeting on 22nd February 2024. With £8.834m already allocated or
committed this results in £2.266m of the fund remaining unallocated to projects facing
inflationary pressures.

beginning of 2023-24. Please identify the reason for this slippage below by ticking (√) the
appropriate box:
Incorrect profiling at start of year  Material delays 
Changes to project plan  Other (explain below) X     
Detailed explanation for the above (if there is more than one reason ticked above please give
approximate values applicable to each cause): 
All of the Projects within the CHORD_Oban programme of works have achieved practical
completion. There was a residual budget of £626k made up as follows: 
1. CHORD_Oban (General)     £115k
2. CHORD_Oban (Transit Berthing Facility)   £  85k
3. CHORD_Oban (Public Realm Phase 1 and Phase 2) £131k
4. CHORD_Oban (Maritime Visitor Facility)   £295k 
The budget allocations noted above were carried over from previous years, and we require to
carry them forward in FY24/25 as the expenditure has not been incurred as expected due to the
following reasons: 
1. This budget allocation is to (a) provide additional budget cover in respect of Item (2)
below should the Council be responsible for any additional costs, and (b) to enable us to complete
the full Benefits Realisation Analysis and Economic Evaluation for CHORD-Oban and the overall
CHORD Programme once all of the works are complete and the various contracts closed out,
including the settlement of all outstanding commercial issues.
2. This budget allocation is to enable the project team to address the root cause of Defect
55, the appearance of transverse cracks on two of the concrete pontoons. As there is a dispute
between the Contract and Employer as to the cause of this defect, budget is to cover any risk
arising to the Employer. We have commissioned Royal Haskoning DHV to undertake independent
structural analysis of the facility to determine the root cause and any subsequent remedial actions
to rectify. We have received the Phase 2 analysis report and met with RHDHV to discuss its
content and request certain revisions to make the conclusion and recommendations as specific
and unambiguous as possible. RHDHV will resubmit their report and in consultation with
colleagues in Procurement, Commercial and Contract Management, this will enable us to assess
the appropriate course of action in terms of remedial works and the cost thereof.
3. This budget allocation is to cover any potential risk arising to the Council as Employer
under the two works contracts whilst we await the end of the statutory prescription period for
potential claims arising from the Contractor (Ph1) or the Administrator (Ph2)
4. This budget allocation is to enable additional works with respect to air handling units for
the facility once the specification is confirmed.

While it is appreciated figures will not be 100% accurate, are you content that the “Anticipated

will be spent in each of the years 2024-25, 2025-26 and 2026-27?
1. No – whilst we should be in a position to progress the Benefits Realisation Analysis for
CHORD-Oban in FY24/25. In terms of the CHORD Programme, and given the extended
delays to the Rothesay Pavilion Project, it would make sense to commence the
Programme Level analysis in FY24/25, and as necessary pick up on the RPN project as a
separate issue once it achieves practical completion. We would therefore recommend
that £79k is taken from the FY24/25 Forecast and reprofiled in FY25/26 as follows: 
Year 2023-24 £m 2024-25 £m 2025-26 £m 2026-27
£m
Anticipated Spend at start of 2023-24 0.626 0.000 0.000 0.000

2. Yes – £47k has been expended in FY23/24 and the balance of £38k therefore carries
forward into FY24/25. The submission of the RHDHV Stage 2 analysis report should
facilitate the closure of the outstanding issues on the Transit Berthing Facility
3. Yes – Prescriptive period runs out in 2024
4. Yes – Marine Operations to confirm specification of requirements 
If not, have you advised Financial Services of the changes to these forecasts as this is what is

Following consideration of the request for the Project Slippage Report for CHORD_Oban we have
discussed this within the PPMS Team and revised the future years forecasts to take account of the
most up to date information in this return.

Detailed explanation for the above (if there is more than one reason ticked above please give

Project expenditure is predicated on the conclusion of the suite of Legal Agreements as between
the Council and M&K MacLeod Ltd for the Phase 2AA Works. These are a complex suite of
documents developed to protect the public and private interests of not only jointly delivering the
Phase 2AA works, but also subsequently enabling each of the parties to develop out their own
land holdings without a requirement to negotiate/agree fundamental principles for each
individual development plot. We are working to close out the Deed of Conditions, which feeds
into the overarching Development Agreement, and which takes account of negotiations with HIE
in respect of access to their land for Phase 2AA construction activities associated with statutory
utility provision, and the subsequent operation and maintenance thereof until such time as these
are formally adopted. It also requires the inclusion of any funding conditions which HIE place upon
the project in support of their funding contribution, the Stage 2 Application for which is nearing
completion. 
Enabling work has commenced on site, so physical works are in progress, however MKML are not
able to invoice to recover these costs against the public sector funding until the legal agreements
are all concluded, expected FQ2 FY24/25.

Yes – on the presumption that legal agreements are concluded in FQ2, then MKML will drawdown
approved funding for works already undertaken as soon as possible thereafter.

Continued issues with availability of materials and suitably skilled labour have resulted in delays to
various sites (John Logie Baird, Garelochhead, Cardross, Parklands and Islay) with works unable to
commence as planned.  In order to mitigate any potential prolongation costs projects have been
reprogrammed to reduce the commercial impact on the programme as a whole, minimise school
disruption and at all times adhere to our rigorous Health & Safety responsibilities and legislative
duties. Advanced preparation works have already been carried out wherever possible to ensure a
smooth delivery through Summer 24 and issues with internal reporting temporarily resolved to
aid accurate periodic reporting.

In 2023-24 there has been £0.644m of slippage compared to the projections for this year at the
beginning of 2023-24. Please identify the reason for this slippage below by ticking (√) the
appropriate box:
Incorrect profiling at start of year  Material delays 
Changes to project plan  Other (explain below) 
Detailed explanation for the above (if there is more than one reason ticked above please give
approximate values applicable to each cause): 
The planned lighting schemes were always forecast for completion in 2024-25 however
the finalising of designs for these schemes was delayed later into 2023-24 than
anticipated when setting the budget forecast. This delayed the tendering of these projects
and as such the above slippage has occurred in 2023-24. Schemes are still forecast for
completion in 2024-25. 
While it is appreciated figures will not be 100% accurate, are you content that the “Anticipated
Spend at end of 2023-24” noted in the table at the top of the page are a good estimate of what
will be spent in each of the years 2024-25, 2025-26 and 2026-27?
Yes
