The purpose of this report is to seek approval
for the direct award of emergency works to a Council Framework
Contractor and Delegated approval for associated follow-up works at
the Queen Elizabeth Hall (QE Hall). Works required to undertake
emergency mechanical and associated works within the QE Hall to
ensure that the Hall can remain operational and available for
events by the Public and Council until the proposed new events
space within the Spindles re-development are operational (current
estimated December 2023). Due to the complexity and urgency of the
works to ensure that the Hall can remain open and operational - the
initial work was direct awarded following completion of the design
solution and quotation being received. The report also seeks
approval for necessary associated follow-on works to the agreed
budget limit of £220,000.00.
RESOLVED - That: Award contract to WH Good
Limited, with Delegated Approval to accept follow-on quotation up
to agreed budget total.
Option 1 - Accept the direct award process and
award the contract to the successful contractor - WH Good Limited,
with Delegated Approval to accept quotation for necessary follow-on
works up to the agreed budget total.
Option 2 - Do nothing - not considered a viable option due to the
condition and Health and Safety concerns of the Mechanical
installation in the QE Hall, which would result in the closure of
the Hall to all events.
Option 3 - N/A
Option 2
