Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

For the Head of Programme Management to award the Contract for the Gourley Triangle Finance/Viability commission to ‘Avison Young’ for consultancy services from RIBA Stage 0 to RIBA Stage 2+. The sum of the Contract is £72,590.00 (Seventy-two thousand, five hundred and ninety pounds).

Reasons for the decision:

To appoint an experienced Finance/Viability Consultant to work closely with the Architect-led masterplanning team to deliver: market analysis, viability and delivery options appraisals, cost estimates, a land acquisition and business relocation strategy for the Gourley Triangle site.

Unlocking viability will enable delivery of high-quality employment space alongside significant numbers of new Council rented homes to support the wider ambitions of the Tottenham Regeneration programme.

Alternative options considered:

An alternative option would be not to proceed with the commission, but this not recommended as this would not support the agreed objectives within the Tottenham AAP and The Tottenham High Road Strategy Delivery Plan, which seek to maximise the site’s use and contribute to the physical, social and economic regeneration of the area.
