Creating a Better Place – Spindles Enabling Works 1 Variation 9 - Extension to Willmott Dixon Construction Pre-Construction Services Agreement

In February 2022 Cabinet approved a Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA) contract to be entered into

On 25th July Cabinet gave approval to split workstreams for the Spindles Redevelopment into Project 1 (demolition of TJ Hughes, construction of a new market and events space and works to the roof) and Project 2 (redevelopment of internal retail units to create workspace).

Following the ground investigation and the works undertaken by ENWL, a foul water drain was discovered which would have clashed with the new sub-station that feeds the market, events and archive. Prior to commencement of the new build works, it is therefore necessary to divert the foul drain. It is recommended that this is instructed under the EW1
contract to avoid the need to delay the construction of new build contract at the point of Main Contract award.
