Decision Maker: Director Children and Education, Executive Director - Place

Outcome: Recommendations Approved

Is Key Decision?: No

Is Callable In?: No

Purpose: Approval was sought to accept the tender of Tilbury Douglas Ltd, for the provision of stage 3 pre-construction services for the construction of Causeway Green Primary School. The Executive Decision Taken under Cabinet Delegated Authority – Causeway Green Primary School, Brandhall Village – Additional Funding for RIBA Stage 3 approved the appointment of a contractor on a design and build basis to take the project from RIBA Stages 2 to 3. Following completion of RIBA stage 3 and subject to an acceptable contract sum being presented this will require further approval in line with the Councils governance processes to progress beyond this stage. Should Tilbury Douglas Ltd not fulfil their contract to deliver to RIBA stage 3 the Council will seek to appoint an alternative contractor. The financial risk associated with this is minimal as other bids received are of a similar value however the programme risks are greater due to the time associated with appointing an alternative contractor. To note that on completion of RIBA stage 3 should the contract sum not be viable this will present a risk to the Council that this contract will not proceed.
