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):
Minimum Requirements modified to: increase homes to be built on the site from 478 to 534; reduce commercial units from 1,000 sqm to 250 sqm; and remove obligation to retain the façade of the Bull Tavern pub.
Modifications to the land price, payment timings and enhanced overage terms and conditions for the Contracting Authority.
Modification so that the Contracting Authority no longer has an obligation to acquire 51 housing units, with those units now being taken by a Registered Provider ("RP").
New conditions precedent to secure a RP buyer of the affordable homes alongside the developer, to secure grant funding in respect of the scheme.
The Contacting Authority intends to enter into the modifications pursuant to Regulation 72(1)(b), (c) and (e) PCR, where additional works, services or goods are needed, some result in non-substantial modifications, and others are the result of unforeseen circumstances.
For completeness, there have also been modifications to the original scheme design in terms of block footprint, massing, height and tenures for the purposes of planning requirements.
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:
Following the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, new legislation and rules came into force which amongst other things required the redesign of large elements of the scheme to be delivered under the development agreement. The scheme was also impacted by macro economic factors, such as unforeseen and almost unprecedented build cost inflation. The provision of grant funding to support the scheme has required modifications.
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: £1
Total contract value after the modifications
Value excluding VAT: £1
