Tender Clarification Number 1 following tender query.
Q1. We note that at Section 3 / Questionnaire (Item 8.1a) you are seeking a commitment to Professional Indemnity Insurance to a level of £10,000,000 which does seem high for the scope of structural work involved. Was there a specific area of the programme that you felt warranted this level of cover? We note that this is a pass/fail section of the Tender so would not wish to jeopardise our bid by not committing but we are looking to understand where this level of cover would be required.
A1. The works under workstream CH1 include the need for additional structural support to the Concert Hall roof. The works under under workstream BP1 include removal of walls which may be load bearing and additional structural support to the studio roof. It was considered that £5M would not be adequate cover as it does not just relate to project construction value and the level of £10M set provided the cover necessary and therefore adjustment to a lower level is not acceptable.
