Description

A 2 stage mini competition was undertaken through the NHS Construction framework. A single supplier was selected through stage 1, and we have now awarded to that supplier following stage 2 of price finalisation. To facilitate contract management and the staggering of the work across 2 sites, the contract has been split into 2 physical contracts. This notice is the second, and last, of these contracts for Abbey Fields following it being signed on 6th September 2022.

Ammendments to Previous Notice

2. II.2.2 Reasons for modification

VII.2.2) Reasons for modification Although the potential for historic remains was identified at the site, the extent of these remains was assumed to be low due to the existing Abbey Fields swimming pool. However, following demolition of the swimming pool and more detailed ground investigations, an extensive amount of historic remains were identified on site. These then had to be carefully excavated and assessed prior to being carefully recovered. This discovery caused massive delays in the start of the project after the main contractor has already begun on site and resulted in compensation events being raised by the contractor to cover the delay. In addition, the resulting historical remains required a changed in design specification for the ground works needed to support the new building. These design changes resulted in additional costs as well as the appointment of additional specialist sub contractors. This notice is only for the second site of Abbey Fields, with the original notice for Castle Farm being FTS 016702-2022, therefore the prices within VII.2.3 are reflective of the increased price for Abbey Fields Only. The price increase should be viewed in the context of the original total tender award, with the original value of £26,843,427.24 + VAT for both sites needed to be increased to £39,393,427.24 + VAT for both sites.

3. II.2.3 Increase in Price
