The Head of Housing Development approves
awarding a contract to Metropolitan Workshop LLP, in accordance
with CSO 8.08 and 9.07.1c, for the amount of £54,900 + VAT.
This contract is for Architectural services for the delivery of
affordable homes at the Kings Road N17 Car Park
development.
The Kings Road (N17) Car Park site has been
designated by Haringey Council for the direct delivery of new
Council homes. The project requires Architectural services to
design the scheme from RIBA Stage 1 to 3.
The first option considered was to appoint an
architect via a framework. However, this was deemed unsuitable as
the contract value was significantly below the OJEU threshold.
Additionally, the firms listed on these frameworks are not always
appropriately sized to have an interest in these small site
schemes, which would have resulted in an uncompetitive tender
process.
The second option considered was not to award this appointment at
all. This would not support the delivery of the Council’s
Housing Delivery programme.
