To approve the procurement strategy for a two stage design and build contract through the Notting Hill Genesis (NHG) framework for the construction of the Albion new homes schemes.

RESOLVED:

1.  That the procurement strategy outlined in the report for a two stage design and build contract through the Notting Hill Genesis (NHG) framework, for the construction of the Albion new homes schemes (consisting of two sites - the former Albion Civic Centre and former Albion Primary School) for an anticipated period of 32 months commencing on 30 July 2019, at an estimated contract value of £22m, which includes the cost of the first stage tender process (pre-construction services agreement - PCSA) at an estimated value of £1.1m  be approved.

2.  That it be noted that that the award of the pre-construction services agreement (PCSA) will be approved as set out in paragraph 34 of the report by the relevant chief officer in accordance with contract standing orders and in consultation with the cabinet member for social regeneration, great estates and new council homes.

3.  That the delegation of the award decision in the gateway 2 reports for the main works contract to the strategic director of housing and modernisation in consultation with the cabinet member for social regeneration, great estates and new council homes for the reasons noted in paragraph 37 of the report be approved.

4.  That it be noted that the original procurement strategy agreed by cabinet on 5 October 2015 in relation to these sites, identified as part of lot A2 within the Southwark Regeneration in Partnership Programme (SRPP) did not proceed as further detailed in paragraphs 6 and 7 of the report. Therefore, the recommended procurement strategy outlined in the report will replace the original procurement.
