Building Contractor - Kings Lynn Library - AWARD
This is a contract result notice, not an open opportunity. Details from the official award data.
This is a large award for Construction — above three-quarters of comparable contracts. Based on 64,002 valued Construction tenders in our corpus.
Norfolk County Council wants to award a contract to a building contractor to work on redeveloping the Argos building in Kings Lynn to a new Multi-User Community Hub (MUCH) .The MUCH should be a place where residents can access a range of public services they value, alongside information and advice they trust, with library and learning at the heart.
It is therefore NCC's intention to appoint a contractor from the start of RIBA stage 2 under a 2 stage D&B contract, as the project will have significant MMC elements and the design contractor needs to engage in design much earlier than in a standard 2-stage D&B.
Appointing the main contractor in this manner will result in there not being a typical client-side design team and would produce performance specifications up to end of RIBA stage 3.
The client therefore retains a small team from each of the companies, responsible for the RIBA stage 1 report, as technical guardians.
The purpose of the design guardians, is to check and ensure the integrity of the stage 1 report and its intentions around sustainability is not compromised.
This will not exclude the companies from partnering with contractors bidding for the works.
A clerk of works will also be appointed client side.
The budget for the construction element of this project is £8,734,000 inclusive of construction prelims, overheads, and profits.
Norfolk County Council wishes to engage with building contractors prior to issue of a contract notice.
If you wish to engage with us, please express an interest in this project and use the correspondence facility.
We anticipate that any planned pre-tender contractor engagement meeting will be conducted over Teams during early February 2023.
