Decision details
Approval for award of Contract under Contract Standing Order (‘CSO’) 9.07.1 (c) and issue of Letter of Intent (‘LOI’) for ‘Employer’s Agent and Quantity Surveyor Services for Your Bruce Grove Infill Sites’ as permitted under CSO 9.07.3.
Decision Maker: Director of Placemaking and Housing
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Decision:
(i) For the Director of Placemaking & Housing to award the
Contract for the ‘Employer’s Agent and Quantity
Surveyor Services’ for RIBA Stages 1-7 to ‘Airey Miller
Limited’. The sum of the Contract, including contingency is
£288,652.36.
(ii) For the Director for Placemaking and Housing to issue a LOI to
‘Airey Miller Limited’ for the value of 100k.
Reasons for the decision:
The project will improve and develop a series
of interconnected streets and spaces in Bruce Grove Town Centre,
with the aim of ‘thickening’ Tottenham High Road by
establishing the back streets as safe, welcoming, and lively spaces
where local communities socialise, shop and work and where the
Council will deliver its own high-quality homes and
workspace.
The decision is being taken to allow progression of the Your Bruce
Grove projects to deliver on the Future High Street Fund
programme.
The LOI is required, in view of LBH Legal capacity, to ensure no
delays to the commission and commencement of work as soon as
possible.
Alternative options considered:
An alternative option would be not to proceed
with the commission, but this is not recommended as this would not
support the delivery of infill sites in Bruce Grove Town Centre,
which forms a fundamental part of the Tottenham High Road Strategy
and Regeneration Programme.
The preferred approach is to enter into Contract with Airey Miller
following a tender process under the LCP Professional Services DPS
Portal, representing best value to the Council.
