Decision Maker: Director of Placemaking and Housing

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:



(i) For the Director of Placemaking & Housing to award the Contract for the ‘Employer’s Agent and Quantity Surveyor Services’ for RIBA Stages 1-7 to ‘Airey Miller Limited’. The sum of the Contract, including contingency is £288,652.36.



(ii) For the Director for Placemaking and Housing to issue a LOI to ‘Airey Miller Limited’ for the value of 100k.

Reasons for the decision:

The project will improve and develop a series of interconnected streets and spaces in Bruce Grove Town Centre, with the aim of ‘thickening’ Tottenham High Road by establishing the back streets as safe, welcoming, and lively spaces where local communities socialise, shop and work and where the Council will deliver its own high-quality homes and workspace.



The decision is being taken to allow progression of the Your Bruce Grove projects to deliver on the Future High Street Fund programme.



The LOI is required, in view of LBH Legal capacity, to ensure no delays to the commission and commencement of work as soon as possible.

Alternative options considered:

An alternative option would be not to proceed with the commission, but this is not recommended as this would not support the delivery of infill sites in Bruce Grove Town Centre, which forms a fundamental part of the Tottenham High Road Strategy and Regeneration Programme.



The preferred approach is to enter into Contract with Airey Miller following a tender process under the LCP Professional Services DPS Portal, representing best value to the Council.
