Decision
That the Director of Property & Assets:
i) Approves a variation to the Contract with Ridge & Partners LLP for the Multidisciplinary Architecturally Led Design Team contract for the new Bridge Park development project.
Reasons for the decision
Since the beginning of the project, additional consultancy services have been identified that were not part of the scope of services issued at tender stage that require commissioning. To this end, Officers are seeking approval to vary the contract to commission these services as part of this project
Alternative options considered
An alternative option would be for the Council to issue individual tenders for each of the additional services. This was discounted owning to the time and resources it would take to complete this when Ridge & Partners are able to invite fee proposals from an established supply chain.
