This report recommends that the Assistant
Director of Regeneration and Economic Development:

i) Approves the award of contract for Quantity Surveyor services
for Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the Selby Urban Village Project to Airey
Miller Ltd for the sum of £215,800 pursuant to Contract
Standing Order 9.07.1c (Bid Acceptance & Contract Award)

Reasons for the decision

The Selby Urban Village Project is a key
project for the Council being delivered in partnership with the
Selby Trust. The Project has secured £20m of Levelling Up
Funding for Phase 1 and has secured Affordable Housing Grant for
Phase 2. The Project now requires Quantity Surveying Services (QS)
to provide cost advice and develop a detailed elemental cost plan
to ensure that the project is delivered within budget and the
ensure that the Levelling Up Grant Funding awarded can be utilised
within the strict timescales, set as conditions of funding.

Following a request for quotation tender process, Airey Miller Ltd
were evaluated as the Best Value Tenderer in terms of
Quality/Price. As Airey Miller Ltd submitted a compliant tender
response and met the criteria for the assessment scoring, it is
recommended that the contract for QS services be awarded to
them.

Alternative options considered

There is currently no resource within the
Council that has the capacity, specialist expertise or
qualifications to deliver this service. Consequently, there is no
option to do this in-house and so the Council needed to procure QS
services.

The Major Projects Team worked with colleagues from Procurement and
Regeneration to review the best route to procure QS services for
the Project and it was agreed following an assessment of the
options that Adam Procure DPS was the best route for securing the
required services.
