The Council is seeking toappoint a Lead Design Consultant, Architectural Design and Principal Designer Services Consultant team to provide Design and Engineering Services to manage and monitor the design development and construction stages of the identified sites for the delivery of the Extra Care Housing and Supported Independent Living Programme; Surrey Outdoor Learning (SOLD); Highways Refurbishment; New Fire Stations and Training Centres; Looked After and Adopted Children (LAAC); School and Mixed Use Developments. This programme of works will include essential maintenance works.

The scope of work for each project comprises the Lead Designer, Principal Designer & Architect Services consultant undertaking the design work (in conjunction with the Project Management, Cost Management & Contract Administrator Services) to enable the achievement and completion of all tasks associated with the achievement and production of a Feasibility Study, the Employer’s Requirements for construction services as necessary to successfully enable design, delivery and handover of the project.

The project will be delivered via four contracts each allocated to a single design and build contractor (with the inclusion of enabling works to prepare the site and create the necessary access route ahead of development) covering four separate project areas:

ITT 1 – Mixed Minor Projects

ITT 2 - Mixed Major Projects

The recommended route to market was to conduct a mini competition under Lot 3 of the Crown Commercial Services (CCS) Project Management and Full Design Team Services Framework (RM3741) to identify up to four suppliers to provide Lead Design Consultant, Architectural Design and Principal Designer Services for four separate project areas.

Estimated overall Contract Value (including extensions) per project area:

ITT 2 - Mixed Major Projects = £3,750,000

ITT 3 - Education Projects = £3,750,000

ITT 4 - Residential/MMC Projects = £3,750,000

3.           The successful bidder Pick Everard is awarded the contract for ITT 3 - Education Projects

Declarations of Interest:      None

Officers attending:   Daniel Williams, Countryside Officer

Petitions, Public Questions, Statements:  None

The Woking Joint Committee agree that:

(i)            A diversion order be made under section 119 of the Highways Act 1980 to divert Public Footpath No. 5 (Woking) as shown on amended Drawing No. 3/1/79/H68A.

(ii)           If any objections are received and maintained to the Order it should be submitted to the Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs for determination. 

Reasons for Decision

Members agreed with the officers view that the criteria for making a diversion order have been met. At present the path crosses an area being developed for stabling. The new route, 3m in width, would improve security for the property and provide a path that would no longer be shared with vehicles accessing the property.

Surrey County Council (SCC) welcomes the opportunity to submit its views following the publication of the document Local Authority Remote Meetings: Call for Evidence, published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government on 25 March 2021.

Decision made:

It was AGREED to submit the attached response to the consultation outlined above.

Reasons for Decision:

The responses to the consultation will be submitted to Government so that it can be considered in relation to any future decision on the proposal.
