Construction work for multi-dwelling buildings and individual houses

Tender description

This Notice advises that Glen Oaks HA intends to appoint a design team providing architecture, quantity surveying, engineering and principal designer services for a 47 unit new affordable housing development. The project works are expected to be put out to tender in early 2020 with construction expected to commence later in the year and completion in 2021. Glen Oaks HA (‘the Association’), working in partnership with Glasgow City Council (GCC) and the Scottish Government, is in the process of delivering new affordable housing in SW Glasgow. Following completion of a detailed Feasibility Study, GCC have now requested the project be progressed to tender stage in the spring of 2020 in order for it to make a decision on whether to support the contract through grant assistance. The timescale that GCC has specified is insufficient for a procurement exercise to take place to re-procure a design team to take this project forward. Due to this, the Association has provisionally agreed fees for architecture, quantity surveying, engineering and principal designer services following negotiation with the existing feasibility design team. To follow an alternative course of action would jeopardise the project as GCC’s critical timescales regarding funding would be missed and the project would fall. Therefore, Glen Oaks HA is using the negotiated procedure without prior publication of the contract notice.
