Issue details

Willmott Dixon has been procured as the preferred bidder for the delivery of the new 5FE Secondary Department and 150 place Sixth From at Woodmansterne School.

The programme to deliver the new school is very challenging and in order to mitigate some of the delay, it is proposed to engage Willmott Dixon early in the process to undertake some enabling works, works deferred from the primary school project and to complete some of the external works and drainage.

Its also proposed to engage with Willmott Dixon earlier in the design process including progressing with surveys and detailed design development. This will enable an early start of the construction works in parallel with the Pre-Contract Agreement being signed and the award of the main contract to Willmott Dixon.

Willmott Dixon will be asked to provide 3 quotes for each package of works to be awarded (as per the terms of the SCF Framework Agreement).
