Decision:
For the Robbie Erbmann Director of Delivery,
Finance and Resources to approve the implementation of Contract
Standing Orders 12.01,12.02 and award a contract to WR_AP Studios,
for the service of a Design Adviser for RIBA Stages 0-1 for a
period of 2 years from 30/11/2025 at a cost of £100,000
Reasons for the decision:
The current Design Adviser consultancy
services contract is due to expire. As such, the Council requires a
new appointment for a Design Adviser consultant to carry out the
services ensuring continued quality support for a delivery of new
Council homes.
Alternative options considered:
An alternative option would have been to use
the in-house design resource, however due to the number of schemes
in the programme there is no sufficient capacity to deliver this
service in-house.
