Purpose

We are seeking
approval to procure a works contract for essential remedial works
at Springfield lane located in the Northern part of the borough.
The works are required to bring the property up to standard and
alleviate the breach we are currently in under the head lease we
hold. 
 
This report
presents the procurement strategy to directly call off from the:
Fusion21 Refurbishment, Construction, New Build and Modular
Buildings Framework: Lot 1: Internal and External
Refurbishment.
 
The recommended
supplier for this direct call off is Vinci Ltd, has been selected
based on robust operational evidence and service performance. The
service team has identified Vinci Ltd as the most appropriate
contractor due to their proven track record with Camden in
successfully delivering comparable and complex works, including
cases requiring sensitive and timely delivery. Vinci have always
been consistent with the quality of works delivered, reliability,
and familiarity with Camden’s standards and processes make
them the supplier best positioned to deliver the works efficiently
and to the required legal and technical specifications,
particularly given the urgency and risks associated with this
disrepair case with the freeholder.
 
Fusion 21 have
confirmed we are able to move to direct call to Vinci due to the
framework agreement terms & conditions allowing this, without
risk of challenge.
 
Camden have a
fully repairing lease with the freeholder and so are responsible
for undertaking all necessary repairs and maintenance
work.
 
Springfield lane
comprises of 15 properties of which 5 are leasehold
properties.
 
A dilapidation
survey was undertaken by our appointed consultants, Baily
Garner. 
This resulted in the required works being identified as high
priority including Fire Safety Works.
 
The Programme
manager of Capital Delivery and Project Manager will lead on
delivery of the works, which will include (but are not limited
to):
 

•         
Temporary accommodation group Void standard
refurbishment

•         
Window renewals planning consent in place

•         
Renovate external garages and sheds on site to be usable,

duration will be 36 weeks, and the estimated contract value is
£500,000.
