Description

Northumberland County Council (NCC) conducted a procurement exercise to appoint a main contractor to carry out the works at The Berwick Maltings Theatre. Project Aims: • Provide a landmark cultural attraction at the heart of the town, creating a new focal point for visitors and residents' year-round activity and a cornerstone of destination development • Broaden the visitor offer by working in partnership with complimentary proposals reflecting the wider, environmental, heritage, commercial and cultural interests of the town • Develop an improved wet weather daytime facility for residents and visitors • Develop a year-round festival/events programme to grow the evening economy and lengthen the visitor season • Raise awareness of Berwick upon Tweed and its diverse assets, maximising its appeal as both a day trip and overnight destination and supporting year- round growth in revenues and employment across the visitor economy • Facilitate skills development and job creation through the provision of on-site learning activity, apprenticeships, and new jobs. The overall development budget is £25.9m. The target build cost for the development is £15m (exclusive of Preliminaries, OH&P, PCSA Fee, Risk and Inflation). The successful contractor will be expected to coordinate a value engineering process with the project team during the PCSA period, to reach an affordable scheme.

Total Quantity or Scope

This project is to be developed using a two-stage design and build procurement. The first stage is implemented through a Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA) where the successful bidder will carry out a set of pre-construction services for an agreed fee. During this stage the design and scope, price and programme for the main works under the building contract will be developed by the successful bidder and provided to the Council for approval. The Council at its entire discretion may then award a building contract by issuing a notice to proceed.
