## Summary

North Ayrshire Council, a regional or local authority located in Irvine, has completed the procurement of a significant construction project titled "NAC/DA/5078 Construction of Ardrossan Community Campus." This procurement, which falls under the general public services category, reached the award stage on 9 December 2024. The project is situated in the region of UKM93, Scotland. The council decided on a direct award via the SCAPE National Construction framework (Lot 3 Scotland – Upper Works) to Morgan Sindall Construction and Infrastructure Ltd, a large-scale supplier based in Sheffield. The contract, valued at £1,527,527.89, began with an NEC Professional Services Contract and will proceed in two phases, with the construction phase contingent on the successful completion of pre-construction services.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in construction and infrastructure, specifically those capable of handling large-scale public service projects. Companies with experience in educational facility construction and a proven track record in adhering to strict specifications, such as the Learning Estate Investment Programme (LEIP), would find this project particularly aligned with their expertise. The procurement method reflects an open procedure, which ensures transparency and equal opportunity. Businesses that can demonstrate capacity and competence in managing complex, multi-phase projects within set timelines will be well-suited to participate in future tenders of this nature, fostering growth through involvement in significant public infrastructure endeavours.

## Notice

NAC has concluded an alternative procurement strategy for the Ardrossan Campus project to progress as after award and as the PCSDA progressed, the costs associated with the original Passivhaus specification significantly increased and were prohibitive for NAC to continue within the original appointment. The existing PCSDA contract (NAC/5129) with Morgan Sindall Construction & Infrastructure Ltd which was awarded in January 2024 has since been terminated and the revised procurement route is via a Direct Award on the SCAPE National Construction framework - Lot 3 Scotland - Upper Works to Morgan Sindall Construction & Infrastructure Ltd. The new appointment (NAC/DA/5078) proceeds with a Learning Estate Investment Programme (LEIP) compliant specification. The direct award process was chosen to maintain project continuity and momentum. Morgan Sindall Construction & Infrastructure Ltd are the top ranked contractor for this value of works on this framework and were the awarded contractor in the previous procurement process.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The requirement is split into two contractual phases. The first stage of the contract will be in accordance with a Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSDA) to develop the stage 4 design and market testing. The PCSDA contract is using the NEC Professional Services Contract June 2017 (as amended by the NEC4 June 2017 Edition: January 2019 Amendments). The contract value is 1,527,527.89 GBP. The final contract sum will be realised on conclusion of the first stage process. The PCSDA contract term is for 49 weeks plus the option to extend for up to 12 months. Appointment to the second stage (construction) will follow successful completion of the first stage. Internal options appraisals will be conducted as necessary prior to any approvals being sought to progress to the award of a construction contract. The intention is to continue using the same procurement route chosen here as a direct award via the Scape framework. The anticipated terms used for the construction contract will be NEC4 June 2017 Edition: January 2019 Amendments and the NEC4 June 2017 Edition: October 2020 and January 2023 amendments published by NEC contracts. The second stage contract term is anticipated to be 116 weeks.
