## Summary

The Isle of Wight Council has awarded a contract for Specialist Consultancy for Design and Development Work for the Guildhall in Newport, Isle of Wight. The procurement process was focused on architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services falling under the services category. The urgency to meet a grant funding deadline by mid-August 2024 led to a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract with ERMC Limited as the successful supplier commenced on 25 June 2024 following a 10-day standstill period.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses with expertise in architectural and engineering services to contribute to the refurbishment of a listed building, the Guildhall, in Newport. Companies specialising in heritage architecture and consultancy services would be well-suited to compete in similar procurement processes. The proactive approach taken by the Isle of Wight Council highlights the potential for businesses to secure contracts efficiently through targeted procurement methods, addressing specific needs and deadlines effectively.

## 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 published (2024/S 000-018220) 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 observed a 10-day standstill period from 12 June 2024 - 24 June 2024 midnight, and the contract commenced on 25 June 2024.
