Procurement Information

A procurement procedure is not necessary on the basis that the award of the contract (the Deed of Variation) is permitted pursuant to regulation 72(1)(c) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The need for modification has been brought about by significant domestic and international economic turbulence, including substantial build cost inflation, rises in UK interest rates and ongoing shifts in how businesses use and occupy workspace post-covid together with the implementation of legislative and regulatory changes with respect to Building Safety . The overall scheme remains broadly the same in nature delivering new build housing, workspace, street market facilities and public realm improvements. The Council has received commercial advice to review the updated financial appraisals and ensure that the costs and revenues are commercially reasonable, reflective of the wider market and represent best consideration for the Council. The Developer's percentage return has reduced. Moreover, the variation is also not substantial within the meaning of regulation 72(1)(e) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
