### Lot Information

Lot 1

Torbay Council in accordance with the council contract procedures have undertaken a waiver process to appoint a design team, under Ward Williams Associates as lead consultant, which includes PJA (Highway design) and BD Landscapes (Hard and soft landscape design).

### Procurement Information

On 26 March 2018, Torbay Council entered into a Contract with QSPM Consultants to provide services for developing Stage 3 design for townscape improvements, Station Square (Ref: TTDA318). These services were appointed through the SW Consultants Framework Call off. The key consultants assembled as part of this team included a lead architect, Phil Jones Associates (PJA), BD Landscape (BD) and Gingko. This Contract is now concluded. On 28 June 2021, a new Contract was awarded to QSPM (and its design team) as an extension of the previous contract (TTDA318) as awarded under the SW Consultants Framework; to re-visit Stage 3 design and progress Stage 4 technical design. The Pricing for this Contract was in line with the Framework pricing agreement. The Contract Fee for the above work is PS117,852. Under unfortunate and unforeseen circumstances, QSPM terminated the contract due to no longer have the resource or commitment to meet their obligations. It was in the Council's interest however to retain the other design consultants given their previous work and detailed knowledge of the scheme. Torbay Council awarded a contract under a Waiver process to Ward Williams Associates - to retain the sub consultants previously associated with the project. WWA took over this management role to manage design services from RIBA Stage 4 and included continuation of the existing design team consultants to support on concluding the Stage 4 design primarily so we can reach a design agreement with Network Rail through the BAPA process. The spend for these ongoing services is PS6,330 (plus VAT) with the continued management of consultants (WWA, PJA and BD Landscapes) Torbay Council intend to increase the value of the Ward Williams appointment, retaining the sub consultants, to take the scheme into RIBA Stage 5 (including provision of a Bill of Quantities) and including necessary design support and associated services during the construction phase - ensuring delivery of this high-quality public realm project. The design team, under WWA as lead consultant, includes PJA (Highway design) and BD Landscapes (Hard and soft landscape design). The approximate spend for these services is likely to be PS85,000 (plus VAT).
