The project has been progressed up to RIBA stage 4 with the design pack being submitted for planning approval back in September 2023.
It is the intention to appoint a Design and Build Delivery Partner to progress RIBA stage 4 under a NEC4 Construction Contract and develop a proposal for physical delivery of the project. At the end of stage 4 it will be envisaged that the Delivery Partner will produce a proposal for delivering the project beyond stage 4 which will be progressed subject to Council approval.
It is envisaged the Contractor will lead a multidisciplinary Design Team including Lead designer, Civil and structural Engineer, MEP Engineer, Principal Designer for CDM and Principal Designer for Building Control.
The Design and Build Delivery Partner can engage with and utilise the existing design team or propose an alternative design team if it is believed this will benefit the delivery of the project. The existing team has expressed an interest in continuing with the project with a Delivery Partner.
The Council will commission the Works in two distinct stages:
• Stage 1: Design, development, consents and approvals.
• Stage 2: Construction
There is to be an Employer decision hold-point between Stage 1 and 2 when the Employer will decide whether or not to proceed to Stage 2. This decision will be at the Employers total discretion.
Stage 1 will be administered under an NEC Engineering Construction Contract Contract (Option A).
Stage 2 will be administered under an NEC Engineering Construction Contract (Option A).
The value provided in Section II.1.5 is only an estimate.
