About

City of Doncaster Council awarded a contract to R Fullwood & Co Ltd for the design and build of improvement works to Gypsy and Traveller sites, comprising the construction of 39 new pods across three sites and associated works.

The contract was awarded via a mini competition from the E N Procure DPS for Installation, Responsive Repairs and Maintenance (Lot 29) (OJEU reference 2019/S 187-453493), following a two-stage tender process to select a Management Contractor.

Stage 1 involved pricing based on preconstruction services and preliminaries, with design information provided to bidders for assessment of design review, modification, and value management to achieve the Employer's Budget.

The selection was based on a 40% price and 60% quality evaluation, including 10% for Social Value.

The successful contractor entered into a Preconstruction Services Agreement for Stage 2, which requires reviewing current designs, including detailed drawings, specifications, calculations, and assessments, to provide cost advice for achieving the Employer's Budget Cost of £5 million.

The works are to be completed to meet the requirements of City of Doncaster Council and St Leger Homes of Doncaster.

Waldeck Consulting was engaged by SLHD to undertake architectural, structural/civil, and surveying services for the planning and development of the pre-manufactured pod units at the three sites to RIBA Stage 4 (restricted to RIBA Stages 3 and 4), producing full planning applications and internal designs.

The contract value is £5,245,672.74.
