Summary:

 

The London Borough of Barnet (the Council) has started a project at the Pavilion Study Centre (PRU) to provide new fit for purpose accommodation which will enable the Council’s Alternative Provision to be broadened to meet emerging needs in the borough. The project is being delivered and funded through the Education Funding Agency’s (EFA) Priority School Building Programme under the Direct Delivery (with EFA Funding) model. 

 

Previous decisions gave approval to enter into a Professional Services Contract (PSC) with John Graham Construction Ltd (JGCL), and then to vary that contract so that it included design and costing works to the end of Stage 4 plus some Stage 5 enabling orders.

 

JGCL have now confirmed a Contract Sum of £17,668,178.81 to deliver the re-provision of the PRU, including PSC costs. This report seeks approval for the Council to enter into a NEC contract with JGCL for re-provision of the PRU to allow for the construction works and to completion.

 

The report also seeks approval to enter into the related funding agreement with the DFE for £8,698,292.07.
