Huntersdale Repairs

These works will enable growth of the Pilot/improved handover to the landlord. Reduced future costs of expanding the use of Huntersdale and the quicker turnaround time of occupancy. A light refresh and clean of all remaining rooms apart from the ground floor pilot project (both floors), stairwells, entrance hall, entrance hallways including bathroom areas and kitchen areas, bringing this space back to a clean fresh standard following many years of being unoccupied. Some previous roof leaks have caused damage that requires repairing throughout the building along with where damage has been caused by vandalism. The Works are of low value, tightly defined, and required to be completed by 28 August to ensure operational readiness for the start of the academic year and to support wider estate planning and decant arrangements. Undertaking a competitive process would be disproportionate to the scale and risk of the requirement and would introduce avoidable delay and delivery risk. The selected supplier has proven capability, immediate availability, and prior knowledge of the building, enabling mobilisation and completion within the required timeframe. Value for money is demonstrated through scope control, benchmarking against comparable works, reduced mobilisation costs, and avoidance of additional expense associated with asset deterioration or alternative accommodation.
