Decision details

It is recommended that the Delivery Director, Finance and Resources approves the implementation of Contract Standing Order (CSO)18.03.3, 18.02.03 and 2.05.1(n) in order to extend GIA appointment by the value of £6,250 (exc VAT).

GIA have been modelling daylight and sunlight on the Mallard Place project and have been awarded the contract appointing them through to the end of RIBA Stage 3 and planning submission. Extending GIA’s contract instead of employing new Daylight and Sunlight surveyors would ensure the most consistent and high-quality service, including avoiding any re-procurement delays costing more time and money to LB Haringey.
It is key extend GIA on the project asap so the March 2026 deadline for a SOS grant claim of up to £39,000,000 is not jeopardized

A competitive tender has been rejected as it would cause a lot of project delay in a procurement and project kick-off perspective. It would likely cost the Council additional money because the new consultancy would charge substantial sums for transitional works also. If not extended and project was having to be re-modelled and re-procured to a new Surveyor this could impact a grant claim of potentially up to £39,000,000 targeted from the GLA.
