Description

Appointment of a principle building contractor for the Base Build Construction Works (Shell & Core) for the refurbishment of the Grade II Listed Wrexham County Borough Museum & Archives building (County Buildings, Regent Street, Wrexham) as part of the Museum of Two Halves (MoTH) project. The Museum of Two Halves will incorporate a new National Football Museum for Wales (Amgueddfa Bêl-droed Cymru) and refreshed Wrexham Museum (Amgueddfa Wrecsam). This procurement process had two stages. First there was a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire Stage (PQQ) (pqq_33477), following which a shortlist of the 6 highest scoring bidders were progressed to Invitation to Tender Stage (ITT) (itt_107461). The procurement process was hosted on the eTenderWales (Bravo Solutions) online e-sourcing portal (https://etenderwales.bravosolution.co.uk/). This contract modification is to notify an increase in the contract price to GBP 5,540,000.00 (all figures excluding VAT). This accounts for client instructed amends, variations, adjustments and valuation. Client scheme amends for additional works could not have been foreseen. Many amends arose during the works due to the challenging nature of the old historic building. Changing contractor in the middle of the works was unviable due to economic (switching would cause significant inconvenience and duplication of costs) and technical reasons (requirements to meet grant funder timescales). The changes do not alter the overall nature of the contract. The project reached Practical Completion 08/05/26. 12-month defects rectification period ends 08/05/2027.
