Decision:


For the Director of Culture, Strategy and Engagement to approve a variation to the agreement with Fulker Bailey Russell by the sum of £58,336.62 increasing the current value from £156,989.00 to £215,325.62 as allowed under Haringey's Contract Standing Orders 10.02.1a. This includes a contingency of £2,500 that will be strictly managed under change control process

Reasons for the decision:


The scope of the project for Fulker Bailey Russell increased to include the re-procurement of the package of works after the insolvency of Diamond Build Plc. The fee included the works to conclude the contract in relation to the termination of Diamond Build Plc contract and delivery the newly awarded contract.

These additional costs have already been approved and allocated to the Muswell Hill Library Refurbishment Budget via Cabinet Approval in May 2024

Alternative options considered:


Seeking alternative resources during the construction phase of the project would not benefit the Council in terms of time and cost impact therefore discounted on the basis it would not provide value for money
