Football Hub - King George V Playing Field, Portsmouth - New Pavilion Building and Landscaping Works

Portsmouth City Council - the 'Council' - is inviting expressions of interest from experienced contractors to undertake design and construction of a new sports pavilion and associated landscaping works at King George Fifth Playing Fields in Cosham, Portsmouth.

The new sports pavilion is one strand of delivering a new football facility in the north of the city. Under a separate procurement and contract, two new artificial grass pitches (AGP's) will be installed concurrently with the construction of the pavilion and landscaping works.

Separately, the Council is tendering the opportunity for an operator who will be responsible for managing the new facility. Once secured the operator will provide input into the design for final fit out of the new pavilion building.

The Council is undertaking separate procurements for both the operator and AGP contractor and targeting award decisions for both by the end of March 2022.

The Council is targeting to have awarded this contract by July 2022, commencing works on site by the end of September/beginning of October 2022, completing by end of July 2023 to allow for handover to the operator in order for the facility to be operational for the start of the football season in September 2023.

The Council will run the procurement process in line with the Restricted Procedure as set out within the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and establish a shortlist of 5 - 6 contractors who will subsequently be invited to tender for the pavilion and landscaping works.

The new pavilion project works has an estimated design and construction cost in the region of £4.5m. However, the Council is investigating value engineering options now which will feed into the final design. The Council does not envisage this will impact the upon the tender programme should this result in any alterations to the submitted planning applications and any subsequent discharge conditions.

The construction works will be on the basis of a single stage JCT Design and Build Contract 2016 with the Contractor responsible for the design, including but not limited to the architectural, structural, landscape and mechanical and electrical services design. An application for planning approval has been submitted and a decision is expected prior to the tender publication.

The Council will be working to strict timescales in order to secure additional grant funding. To facilitate the delivery of the associated design and works requirements to meet the grant funding programme, the Council's current strategy is to award a JCT Pre-Construction Services Agreement (General Contractor) 2016 in order to progress the design activities and be able to mobilise the works by September 2022, at which point the Council should, subject to the funding application being successful, be in a position to enter into the full JCT Design & Build Construction Contract 2016.

Whilst an initial PCSA agreement will be entered into,...
