II.2.4) Description of the procurement
LCR is seeking to procure a main contractor to deliver a 2-stage design and build contract for Phase 1 of the development, which will consist of the design and construction of Building 1, together with the design and construction of Building 4. The phasing of Building 4 will be determined primarily by letting space and is likely to range from contemporaneous with Building 1 to sequential, following the completion of Building 1.
The employer’s requirements, which will be available to tenderers shortlisted via this procedure, include Building 1 designs to RIBA Stage 2+ and Building 4 to RIBA Stage 2. It is LCR’s intention that the successful tenderer will work with LCR’s appointed design team to complete the designs to RIBA Stage 4 under a Pre-Construction Service Agreement and reach agreement in respect of programme and price to deliver the Phase 1 buildings.
The overall scheme, planned in one or more future phases and consisting of a further two buildings (circa 23 and 6 storeys) and a retail pavilion, will deliver circa 90,000 m2 of NIA and a significant public square and open space.
Further details on planned timescales for the project are included in the SQ. The intent is to appoint a contractor in May 2018, reach agreement in late 2018, start on site in February 2019, with Building 1 occupation planned for April 2021.
