Purpose

Following completion of condition surveys, SYMCA is progressing the development of repair and improvement works across the six depots. There is a requirement for an Employer’s Representative to support the pre-construction phase, including development of specifications and coordination of works, incorporating mechanical and electrical requirements. LSH are best placed to undertake this role due to their detailed understanding of the sites and survey outputs.

Decision

LSH are appointed as Employer’s Representative for the pre-construction phase, including preparation of specifications for repair works across six depots. Cost: £75,000. Post-contract services will be charged at 4% of the contract sum, to be determined following the pre-construction phase.

OG £12,500
LW £12,500
HB £12,500
RM £12,500
WF £12,500
EC £12,500

Alternative options considered

Due to LSH already undertaking the condition surveys and holding the underlying asset data, no alternative providers were considered. Appointing a new supplier would require duplication of work, additional mobilisation costs, and risk inconsistencies in the asset data and reporting outputs
