two.2.4) Description of the procurement

Scope of Works for Zone 2:

This procurement relates to the design stage in respect of works to be undertaken as part of the Council's Cultural Heart programme as well as the delivery of those works.

Zone 2 is the larger area of the site that currently comprises the Market Hall, Library, Piazza Shopping Centre and small park area. Both the Market Hall and Library are Grade II listed buildings and the site borders a conservation area.

The Piazza shopping centre is to be demolished to allow construction of a new gallery and urban park, including an occasional event space. The Market Hall will be refurbished and extended to provide accommodation for a new library and food hall. The existing Library building is to be refurbished and extended to house a new Huddersfield museum. Works to existing buildings include some demolition, subject to planning permission and listed building consent, to allow for new extensions and adaptation.

Extensive service tunnels run under the majority of the Zone 2 site area, these are to be mainly retained, with adaptation and remedial works carried out in order to secure their long-term use for the new development.

The above scope of works and services is a broad categorisation rather than exhaustive. Bidders should assume that the works and services actually required will broadly be within the scope listed above but will also include extensions to related or ancillary works and services. The actual scope of works and services required may also be narrower than that set out above.

The procurement is intended to cover the scope of the arrangement as set out in this notice and the accompanying procurement documents, available as set out in Section 1.3.

Please also note that the estimated contract value is based on the value of the works. The final value of the works and services will depend on the scope of the final services required and bidders should presume that this value will cover the works and services listed and those ancillary to the principal works and services required on a project of a comparable scale (including any extensions of scope set out in this notice).

To help to ensure that sufficient interest in the contract will be generated, the services being procured will not be divided into separate lots.

Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures

Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures in accordance with Regulation 86 (Notices of decisions to award a contract or conclude a framework agreement), Regulation 87 (Standstill periods) and Chapter 6 (Applications to Court) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102), the contracting authority will incorporate a minimum ten (10) calendar day standstill period at the point that information on the award of the contract is communicated to economic operators.

This period allows any unsuccessful economic operator(s) to seek further debriefing from the contracting authority before the award (or non-award) of the contract. Such additional information can be requested from the address at Sections I.1 and I.3 of this Notice above.

If an appeal regarding the award (or non-award) of the contract is not successfully resolved, then the Regulations provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). Any such action must be started within thirty (30) days beginning with the date when the aggrieved party first knew or sought to have grounds for starting the proceedings had arisen. The Court may extend the time limited for starting proceedings where the Court considers that there is a good reason for doing so, but not so as to permit proceedings to be started more than three (3) months after that date. Where the contract has not been awarded, the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the contracting authority to amend any document and may award damages. If, however the contract has been awarded, the Court may only award damages or, where the contract award procedures have not been followed correctly, declare the contract to be ineffective.
