Section four. Procedure
four.1) Description
four.1.1) Type of procedure
Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition in the cases listed below
- The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the regulations
Explanation:
This notice is published under Regulation 99 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 as the Contracting Authority is justified in awarding the contract without prior publication of a contract notice as it is part of a call off contract previously awarded under a Framework Agreement and the modification is permitted under Regulation 72(1)(b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or the reasons set out in this notice. The Contracting Authority has also published a separate modification notice under Regulation 72(1)(b).
The modification is for additional works that have become necessary within the construction of the multi-storey car park which were not required at the time of the initial call off.
Following the award of the call-off Contract the Contract Value has increased due to changes to the design and specification arising from site surveys results, planning requirements, climate change methods and statutory requirements, as the project moved through the RIBA stages of construction. Changes of this nature are common place during the development of a construction project. The value of the modification is £4,166,717.22 which is not more than 50% of the original contract value.
These include the following:
•Increase in number of EV charging points from 45 to 50
•Increase the number of lifts required from 4 to 6 due to the increase in numbers of persons/car
•Introduction of waterproof paint finish to the concrete floors to each of the internal levels
•Introduction of external covered cycle storage
•Provision of PV to the top deck by way of retrofitted canopies and without introducing another structural deck
•Increase in width of East/West road from 2 to 3 lanes
•Provision of Sprinkler system
•Addition of Ventilation to escape stairs as a result of increasing the anticipated number of passengers per car
•The need for additional retaining walls to MSCP site
•Resetting of the north east entrance core ensuring provision of level access to North South road -
•Option for changing the structural downstand beams to cellform/castellated
•Addition of Mine grouting
•Inclusion of Pumping for Surface Water drainage
•Option for alternative 3D perforated cladding panels
These changes are as a result of site surveys results, planning requirements, climate change methods and statutory requirements, as the project moved through the RIBA stages of construction. Changes of this nature are common place during the development of a construction project.
The Contract Value has increased due to changes to the design and specification. Changes are justified as the contractor has designed the works, undertaken pre-construction activities and gained technical knowledge and know-how for the construction of the site. To change the contractor part way through the contract is impracticable resulting in significant inconvenience, substantial duplication of costs to the CA and also substantial delay to the project. It would be difficult for a different contractor to take on design liability and all site knowledge and expertise to date would be lost resulting in substantial delays as the car park must be built to comply with planning permission on a linked project. The CA would need to pay abortive costs. The intention is to enter into the Construction Delivery Agreement on 24th March 2021.
