two.2.4) Description of the procurement
Norfolk County Council wants to award a contract to a building contractor to work on redeveloping the Argos building in Kings Lynn to a new Multi-User Community Hub (MUCH) .The MUCH should be a place where residents can access a range of public services they value, alongside information and advice they trust, with library and learning at the heart. It is therefore NCC’s intention to appoint a contractor from the start of RIBA stage 2 under a 2 stage D&B contract, as the project will have significant MMC elements and the design contractor needs to engage in design much earlier than in a standard 2-stage D&B. Appointing the main contractor in this manner will result in there not being a typical client-side design team and would produce performance specifications up to end of RIBA stage 3. The client therefore retains a small team from each of the companies, responsible for the RIBA stage 1 report, as technical guardians. The purpose of the design guardians, is to check and ensure the integrity of the stage 1 report and its intentions around sustainability is not compromised. This will not exclude the companies from partnering with contractors bidding for the works. A clerk of works will also be appointed client side. The budget for the construction element of this project is £8,734,000 inclusive of construction prelims, overheads, and profits. Norfolk County Council wishes to engage with building contractors prior to issue of a contract notice. If you wish to engage with us, please express an interest in this project (after registering on intend. The website address is https://in-tendhost.co.uk/norfolkcc ) and use the correspondence facility. We anticipate that any planned pre-tender contractor engagement meeting will be conducted over Teams during early February 2023.
