seven.2) Information about modifications
seven.2.1) Description of the modifications
Nature and extent of the modifications (with indication of possible earlier changes to the contract):
The location, duration and nature of the works will remain broadly the same after the modification, still delivering new build housing, workspace, street market facilities and public realm improvements. The key variations comprise a reduction in minimum affordable housing levels from 50% to 40%, a reduction in the minimum required level of commercial workspace reprovision in alignment with Local Plan policy for mixed-use regeneration schemes and a reduction in the Council's land receipt in line with revised financial modelling and which represents best consideration in today’s market
seven.2.2) Reasons for modification
Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee.
Description of the circumstances which rendered the modification necessary and explanation of the unforeseen nature of these circumstances:
The modification is being made under regulations 72(1)(c) and 72(1)(e) of the Public Contracts Regulation 2015 due to changing circumstances since the contract was signed. This is to ensure the scheme's viability and deliverability amidst significant economic turbulence, including build cost inflation, rising UK interest rates, and post-COVID shifts in workspace usage, along with new Building Safety regulations. The scheme remains largely the same, delivering housing, workspace, market facilities, and public realm improvements. External commercial advice has confirmed that the revised financial appraisal is reasonable and reflects the wider market, ensuring best consideration for the council. The Developer's return has decreased.
seven.2.3) Increase in price
Updated total contract value before the modifications (taking into account possible earlier contract modifications, price adaptions and average inflation)
Value excluding VAT: £194,374,320
Total contract value after the modifications
Value excluding VAT: £161,978,600
