Due to the current volatility of the market, the lead time and the price for the specified materials has risen significantly. Following a value engineering exercise in October 2022, the original granite paving was removed from the scheme as the price was no longer affordable. The best match to replace the original granite specified has been identified as Kellen paving slabs, which can only by supplied directly by one supplier. A call-off has been run under the Cirrus Consortium Materials Framework in accordance with regulation 33 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 and a response was received from a nationwide builders merchant but this compliant route to market resulted in a quote that was in excess of the available budget and approximately 16% more expensive than purchasing the materials directly from Hardscape Ltd. The option to purchase the required materials compliantly via this route has hence been explored and subsequently disregarded due to it not being financially in the best interests of Torbay Council. This proposed strategy is advantageous to the Council for the following reasons: The material cost is a large part of the overall budget and procuring the materials directly reduces inflation risk to the budget; and The scheme programme will be reduced if the materials are ordered early January 2023 with an expected delivery date to coincide with main contract on-site start date. If materials are included within the main contractor appointment, the order would not be placed until March 2023, which would lead to a delay in the start of the scheme on site and a potential increase in the cost of the materials." }, "awards": [ { "id": "035896-2022-1", "relatedLots": [ "1" ], "title": "Hard Landscape Products", "status": "active", "suppliers": [ { "id": "GB-FTS-71319", "name": "Hardscape Products Limited" } ] } ], "parties": [ { "id": "GB-FTS-570", "name": "Torbay Council", "identifier": { "legalName": "Torbay Council" }, "address": { "streetAddress": "Town Hall, Castle Circus", "locality": "Torquay", "region": "UKK42", "postalCode": "TQ1 3DR", "countryName": "United Kingdom" }, "contactPoint": { "name": "Mr Adam Harmer", "telephone": "+44 1803207242", "email": "procurement.team@torbay.gov.uk" }, "roles": [ "buyer" ], "details": { "url": "http://www.torbay.gov.uk/", "buyerProfile": "http://www.torbay.gov.uk/", "classifications": [ { "scheme": "TED_CA_TYPE", "id": "REGIONAL_AUTHORITY", "description": "Regional or local authority" }, { "scheme": "COFOG", "id": "01", "description": "General public services" } ] } }, { "id": "GB-FTS-172", "name": "European Union", "roles": [ "funder" ] }, { "id": "GB-FTS-71319", "name": "Hardscape Products Limited", "identifier": { "legalName": "Hardscape Products Limited" }, "address": { "streetAddress": "Ashworth House, 14 Deakins Business Park Blackburn Road", "locality": "Egerton, Bolton", "region": "UKD", "postalCode": "BL7 9RP", "countryName": "United Kingdom" }, "contactPoint": { "email": "dlowe@hardscape.co.uk" }, "roles": [ "supplier" ], "details": { "scale": "sme" } }, { "id": "GB-FTS-49584", "name": "Royal Courts of Justice", "identifier": { "legalName": "Royal Courts of Justice" }, "address": { "streetAddress": "7 Rolls Building, Fetter Lane", "locality": "London", "postalCode": "EC4A 1NL", "countryName": "United Kingdom" }, "contactPoint": { "telephone": "+44 2079477156", "email": "tcc.issue@justice.gov.uk" }, "roles": [ "reviewBody" ] } ], "buyer": { "id": "GB-FTS-570", "name": "Torbay Council" }, "planning": { "budget": { "finance": [ { "id": "1", "description": "UK Government's Towns Fund", "financingParty": { "name": "European Union", "id": "GB-FTS-172" }, "relatedLots": [ "1" ] } ] } }, "contracts": [ { "id": "035896-2022-1", "awardID": "035896-2022-1", "title": "Hard Landscape Products", "status": "active", "value": { "amount": 410000, "currency": "GBP" }, "dateSigned": "2022-12-15T00:00:00Z" } ], "language": "en" }
