## Summary

The Isle of Wight Council has awarded a contract to ERMC Limited for 'Specialist Consultancy for Design and Development Work for the Guildhall, Newport, Isle of Wight'. This procurement falls under the services category for architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services. The procurement method used was limited, specifically negotiated without publication of a contract notice due to extreme urgency brought about by unforeseeable events, necessitating the need to meet a grant bid deadline by mid-August 2024. The contract value is £211,555, and a 10-day standstill period will end on 24 June 2024, with the contract expected to commence on 25 June 2024.

This contract presents an opportunity for businesses, particularly those with expertise in architectural and consultancy services, to engage in supporting the Isle of Wight Council's bid for grant funding for the Guildhall project. Given the urgent nature of the procurement, businesses that can promptly provide specialist knowledge in heritage architecture and meet tight deadlines will be well-suited to compete. The refurbishment of the Guildhall, a listed building in poor condition, aims to promote economic recovery in Newport town, highlighting the potential for long-term business growth through involvement in heritage restoration and public sector projects.

## Notice

Specialist Consultancy for supporting the bid for grant funding to allow the bid to be completed in a short time period.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Specialist Consultancy for supporting the bid for grant funding to allow the bid to be completed in a short time period. Specialist knowledge required, as per the grant conditions, and an urgency to meet timeframe.

### Procurement Information

The urgency to contract with a specialist consultancy supplier who can meet the design and development requirements for a listed building which will enable the Isle of Wight Council to submit a bid for specific funding by mid August 2024 means there is not the opportunity to go out to tender or use an alternative route to market on this occasion. Time limits for the alternative routes to market cannot be complied with, hence the VEAT notice to alert the market of our intention. If successful the longer term intention would be to address the issues the Guildhall currently has, as a listed building in a poor state of repair. It is central to the capital town and its refurbishment would bring it back into use promoting economic recovery of the town. A requirement of the proposed bid is that the supplier has access to a specialist Heritage architect which is met by this approach. The Isle of Wight Council will be observing a 10-day standstill period from 12 June 2024 - 24 June 2024 midnight, meaning the contract intends to commence on 25 June 2024.
