Variation of works contract for Alexander James Contracts Limited for the sum of £355,663 using approved contingency at Cabinet.

Decision Maker: Delivery Director

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

For the Delivery Director to approve implementation of Contract Standing Order 18.03.3 & 2.05.1(o) to vary the contract value with Alexander James Contracts Limited by £355,663 for the Lansdowne Road project.

Reasons for the decision:

A variation of contract is required for Alexander James Contracts Limited, attributed to additional instructions and variations during the construction phase of the new build scheme at Lansdowne Rd, N17.

Alternative options considered:

Option not to instruct or vary specific items during construction. This would not support the delivery of a compliant development meeting building regulations, health and safety regulations and the planning requirements, and would deem the development unfit for occupation.
