Decision details

It is recommended that:

The Head of Housing Development approves awarding a contract to MK Surveys in accordance with CSO 11.01 and 11.02 for the amount of £10,395 + VAT.

It should be noted that the approval to award a contract was previously granted on 2nd June 2025 for the amount of £4,860 plus VAT. This approval was based on an evaluation error by the scheme’s Employer's Agent, as not all activities included in the quote were accounted for in the cost analysis.

As a purchase order has not yet been created, this does not constitute a contract variation. We are therefore seeking new approval to rectify the price evaluation error and award the contract at the value of £10,395 plus VAT.

This contract pertains to Topographical & Buried Utilities Survey services for the delivery of affordable homes at the Kings Road N17 Car Park development.

This appointment and reports, survey and assessments will support the submission of the planning application.

The Kings Road (N17) Car Park site has been designated by Haringey Council for the direct delivery of new Council homes. The project requires a multi-disciplinary consultancy to manage the site from RIBA Stage 1 to 3.

The Council could opt not to appoint this consultant; however, this decision would adversely affect and hinder the delivery of new council homes. Conducting this survey is a mandatory requirement.
