The works will be carried out by BAM and are necessary prior to the award of the Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA) to better understand any risks associated with the presence of asbestos and other materials in the building and to further refine the design and the associated value engineering to mitigate budget overage.
The appointment of BAM under the PCSA is subject to the outcome of the pre-PCSA works.
The pre-PCSA was anticipated and included in the OCH Phase 2 Gateway 3 Cabinet Report that was considered and approved by Cabinet on the 21st January 2025.
The budget for the works is £350,000 and includes an allowance for additional supervision and if it is necessary to reinstate joinery work now as part of these works for heritage reasons rather than during the PCSA period or main contract.
