## Summary

The procurement process involves a call-off contract for the construction of a multi-storey car park situated in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, under the Scape Procure National Construction Framework (Lot 1). The buyer is the Borough Council of Gateshead, with the contract currently in an active award status and a total value of £23,064,717.22. This limited procurement method was justified due to the need for modifications in design and specification that arose during the construction process, with a contract signature date of 27th July 2020. The delivery location falls within the UKC22 region and the procurement falls under the works category, specifically classified as car park building construction work. The intention is to enter into the Construction Delivery Agreement on 24th March 2021.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for construction firms, particularly those specialising in large-scale infrastructure projects, to engage in ongoing and future works based on an established framework agreement. Businesses that are equipped to handle complex modifications during construction, such as enhancements in design, additional structures, and compliance with evolving regulations, will find a suitable environment for growth and competition. The contractor Willmott Dixon Construction Limited has already been awarded the contract, highlighting the competitive nature of the tender and the potential for partnerships or subcontracting opportunities for companies looking to expand their presence in the construction sector.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Call off for construction services for the design and construction of a multi-storey car park in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear under the National Construction Framework Agreement between Scape Procure Limited and Willmott Dixon Construction Limited (Lot 1)

### Procurement Information

This notice is published under Regulation 99 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 as the Contracting Authority is justified in awarding the contract without prior publication of a contract notice as it is part of a call off contract previously awarded under a Framework Agreement and the modification is permitted under Regulation 72(1)(b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or the reasons set out in this notice. The Contracting Authority has also published a separate modification notice under Regulation 72(1)(b). The modification is for additional works that have become necessary within the construction of the multi-storey car park which were not required at the time of the initial call off. Following the award of the call-off Contract the Contract Value has increased due to changes to the design and specification arising from site surveys results, planning requirements, climate change methods and statutory requirements, as the project moved through the RIBA stages of construction. Changes of this nature are common place during the development of a construction project. The value of the modification is PS4,166,717.22 which is not more than 50% of the original contract value. These include the following: *Increase in number of EV charging points from 45 to 50 *Increase the number of lifts required from 4 to 6 due to the increase in numbers of persons/car *Introduction of waterproof paint finish to the concrete floors to each of the internal levels *Introduction of external covered cycle storage *Provision of PV to the top deck by way of retrofitted canopies and without introducing another structural deck *Increase in width of East/West road from 2 to 3 lanes *Provision of Sprinkler system *Addition of Ventilation to escape stairs as a result of increasing the anticipated number of passengers per car *The need for additional retaining walls to MSCP site *Resetting of the north east entrance core ensuring provision of level access to North South road - *Option for changing the structural downstand beams to cellform/castellated *Addition of Mine grouting *Inclusion of Pumping for Surface Water drainage *Option for alternative 3D perforated cladding panels These changes are as a result of site surveys results, planning requirements, climate change methods and statutory requirements, as the project moved through the RIBA stages of construction. Changes of this nature are common place during the development of a construction project. The Contract Value has increased due to changes to the design and specification. Changes are justified as the contractor has designed the works, undertaken pre-construction activities and gained technical knowledge and know-how for the construction of the site. To change the contractor part way through the contract is impracticable resulting in significant inconvenience, substantial duplication of costs to the CA and also substantial delay to the project. It would be difficult for a different contractor to take on design liability and all site knowledge and expertise to date would be lost resulting in substantial delays as the car park must be built to comply with planning permission on a linked project. The CA would need to pay abortive costs. The intention is to enter into the Construction Delivery Agreement on 24th March 2021.
