Issue details
Decision to vary the professional services contract with Weston Williamson + Partners to carry out design for the Station Building upgrade
Cabinet’s decision 22 July 2021
authorised that
“..Allocate the remaining HCCTP programme funding to the
development of the transport hub project design and
consultation.
- Further public consultation will be undertaken as the transport
hub design is developed. …”
In April 2022 Weston Williamson + Partners (WW+P) were commissioned
to undertake RIBA stages 2 & 3 and they have carried out
design, key stakeholder consultation and the recommended
“Drive In Reverse Out” (DIRO) design option and cost
plan was presented to cabinet for approval on 27 October 2022. The
initial contract value was £362,697.00. This was increased to
£462,697 to allow for additional surveys and planning
submissions.
In the meantime, there is budget in the current 2023/24 capital
programme to progress the design of the transport hub project using
this intervening period to achieve as close to a shovel ready
scheme as possible by carrying out designs for upgrading the
Station Building.
The council’s contract procedure rules and the Public
Contract Regulations 2015 allow contract variation to a maximum of
50% of the original contract value where the services remain
similar.
