"description": "The project is well progressed on site to meet existing project timelines and will meet the implementation timescale of September 2026. Continuing with the current contractor under the current contractual arrangements at this stage of the project is critical to maintain costs, programme and quality, for both the delivery and aftercare. This would provide the least possible disruption and ensure additional school places could be added to the city\u00e2\u0080\u0099s educational capacity.\r\n CC has novated the main contract maintaining the supply chain (including the viability of the supply chain) and mobilising on site as soon as possible. Delays on programme have a significant impact on the school capacity to accommodate pupil numbers, standard of education provision and funding timescale. This is an exceptional situation where extreme urgency has been brought about by events unforeseeable and not attributable by CC, whereby CC has run a procurement process to find a replacement contractor as outlined in the previous Contract Award Notice and following this did not receive any responses. Re-procurement through any other route would now make it impossible for CC to conduct a regulated procedure within prescribed time limits due to the critical nature of the works both in terms of health and safety, viability of the supply chain, state and condition of partly completed works and the required delivery date of the campus.\r\n (WA Ref:157993)",

"procurementMethodRationale": "The Negotiated Procedure without Prior Publication is being followed and is justified under Regulation 32(2)(c) and/or 32(2)(a) and/or 32(2)(c) for the award of a public works contract\r\n As detailed in the Contract Award Notice issued on 15th November 2024 (reference: 2024/S 000-037036), the Authority novated the enabling works and main works contracts for construction for a short-term interim period to the main sub-contractor appointed under the main works contract to address immediate circumstances of extreme urgency which required the site to be protected and urgent works to continue as soon as possible following ISG filing for administration.\r\n Following that award, the Council were to undertake a compliant procurement exercise pursuant to a mini-competition under the SEWSCAP4 framework agreement\r\n The Council proceeded to engage the SEWSCAP4 framework through an Expression of Interest on 11 November 2024 and bidders\u00e2\u0080\u0099 day on 14 November 2024.\r\n The Council subsequently issued the mini-competition tender on 2 May 2025 but no responses were received from any framework contractors and the procurement process was ceased\r\n Re-procurement of a replacement contractor is not deemed a viable option due to the lack of appetite/interest to the procurement process for a replacement main contractor, the additional time involved with re-procurement processes and the timescales associated with completing the works ready for the start of 2026/27 academic year, to ensure additional capacity is added into the city\u00e2\u0080\u0099s overall ALN places. There would also be increased costs and time associated with securing a replacement contractor due to procurement processes, extended timescales and risk profile along with the potential loss of knowledge/understanding of the scheme and disruption during the final construction and handover stages.\r\n The updated estimated value contained in this notice includes amounts payable as a result of compensation events as set out in the contract.
