  "description": "The project is well progressed on site to meet existing project timelines and will meet the implementation timescale of September 2026. Continuing with the current contractor under the current contractual arrangements at this stage of the project is critical to maintain costs, programme and quality, for both the delivery and aftercare. This would provide the least possible disruption and ensure additional school places could be added to the city’s educational capacity.\nCC has novated the main contract maintaining the supply chain (including the viability of the supply chain) and mobilising on site as soon as possible. Delays on programme have a significant impact on the school capacity to accommodate pupil numbers, standard of education provision and funding timescale. This is an exceptional situation where extreme urgency has been brought about by events unforeseeable and not attributable by CC, whereby CC has run a procurement process to find a replacement contractor as outlined in the previous Contract Award Notice and following this did not receive any responses. Re-procurement through any other route would now make it impossible for CC to conduct a regulated procedure within prescribed time limits due to the critical nature of the works both in terms of health and safety, viability of the supply chain, state and condition of partly completed works and the required delivery date of the campus.\n(WA Ref:157993)",

  "description": "Mobilising the novation with the BESL has taken place relatively quickly, including the novation of the supply chain agreements. Novation of contracts will protect the terms of these contracts & pre-agreed fixed pricing should be preserved. Retaining the existing supply chain will save costs in handover / mobilisation & other additional costs relating to restart. CC has determined it is impossible to run any form of compliant procurement exercise within the accelerated timescale due to the complexity of development of tender documents for a project part constructed.\nCC has undertaken a review of the current project status & risks & believe a short-term duration of an estimated 22 wks will be necessary to allow CC to undertake a compliant procurement exercise & to address the immediate circumstances of extreme urgency which requires the site to be protected & urgent works to continue as soon as possible.\nThere is an urgent need to continue & complete the works carried out to date. CC has determined it is impossible to run any form of compliant procurement exercise within the accelerated timescale afforded within the open procedure or mini competition off the SEWSCAP framework, due to the complexity of development of tender documents for a project part constructed. Indicative timescales are as follows:\nDevelop Tender Pack:4–6wks\nAllow sufficient time for Bidders to review tender & submit:8wks\nTender Evaluation:3wks\nAward decision:3wks\nMobilise and Contract Start:4 wks\nCC has taken independent advice to review all options regarding conducting a new procurement including the use of frameworks. The original procurement process was a mini-competition pursuant to the SEWSCAP3 framework agreement. The project is now more complex given the partly built status and a longer period is now needed due to the added complexity. There is accordingly insufficient time to conduct a procurement process using any procedure (including accelerated timescales) or undertake a framework competition.\nCC has novated the main contract for a short-term duration and limited scope to mitigate further delays, by maintaining the supply chain (including the viability of the supply chain) and mobilising on site as soon as possible. Delays on programme have a significant impact on the school capacity to accommodate pupil numbers, standard of education provision and funding timescale. This is an exceptional situation where extreme urgency has been brought about by events unforeseeable and not attributable by CC, making it impossible for CC to conduct a regulated procedure within prescribed time limits due to the critical nature of the works both in terms of health and safety, viability of the supply chain, state and condition of partly completed works and the required delivery date of the campus. The award (by way of novation of the original enabling and main works contracts) to BESL is strictly necessary and to allow CC the requisite period of time to undertake a full procurement exercise. Whilst the initial contract award is to novate the entire contract for a sum of 88M GBP, CC will immediately vary the contract to instruct BESL to pick up the interim works and carry out these works to completion (as defined) the intention is for a 22 wk contract at an approximate cost of 33MGBP.
