Stage 1 and 2 Design and Build for LUF and Towns Deal Place Projects

Barrow BC is seeking to appoint a contractor to develop designs, gain necessary consents and approvals and undertake the construction of a package of improvement works as part of the redevelopment set out within the Town Investment Plan for Barrow Town Centre. Associated with this project is an Accessibility project to connect up the leisure, retail, civic and quarters of Barrow Town centre. This element is being procured separately by Cumbria County Council and is outside the scope of this project , but the preferred contractor will need to consider the interface and programming of their works with these works..

The Council will commission the works in two distinct stages:

• Stage 1: Design, development, consents and approvals
• Stage 2: Construction

There is to be an Employer decision hold-point between Stage 1 and 2 when the Employer will decide whether or not to proceed to Stage 2. This decision will be at the Employers total discretion.

• Stage 1 will be administered under an NEC Engineering Construction Contract (Option A). Stage 2 will be administered under an NEC Engineering Construction Contract (Option A)
