TD2241 - Appointment of HLP Architects for Affordable Housing Scheme at Shaftesbury Park (#REQ-5603)
Appointment of Halsall Lloyd Partnership LLP (HLP) through Procurement Partnerships Professional Services Framework, a fully PCR 2015 compliant framework notified on Find a Tender Service (formerly the OJEU), to provide Architectural Services in the delivery of affordable housing at Shaftesbury Park, via a direct award under a future JCT Design & Build contract.
It is anticipated that the site will deliver 20 affordable energy efficient homes with associated landscaping and parking facilities. The properties will be a mixture of larger family houses to meet the demand on the social housing waiting list. The scheme was approved at Capital Board at initial gateway stage in July 2024.
HLP were selected from the framework as they have affordable housing delivery experience within the East Midlands team. We have reviewed the detailed scope of services procured under the Procure Partnerships Professional Services Framework for the Architectural Services Lot and they are satisfactory for the Council’s needs, and we therefore propose to appoint using a Direct Award.
At this very early feasibility stage I have used an estimated construction cost of £8m. HLPs fees are 1.49% (£119,200) of the construction cost. A contingency of 15% (£17,880) has been added, this is a precautionary approach given the current extraordinary volatility of the market for both materials and labour, and the resultant difficulty in forecasting, as well as the Council’s requirements for new homes to include misting systems and to meet the Future Homes Standard of thermal efficiency.
It has been agreed with Finance colleagues that development projects within the HRA will have a capital budget code created once they secure Planning Permission and Cabinet approval. Costs for this requirement are initially to be paid from Capital pre- Development cost code (budget allowed for) and then recharged to individual projects’ capital budgets as and when they are created within 24/25 FY.
The ultimate benefits will be the provision of around 20 affordable homes to Derby residents, with the benefits to health and wellbeing as described in the Council’s Housing Strategy. The provision of these homes will in turn reduce the number of people on the social housing waiting list and increase Council Income in the long term.
