Enter into a contract with Kier Ltd via the SCAPE Minor Works Framework, to refurbish the Former Sea Mills Children Centre to provide assisted Independent Living Accommodation’ for social rent for young adults who have a range of complex care needs.

Alternative options considered:

Option 1 - The option to procure a construction contractor directly was considered and rejected as this would add considerable time to the programme and it was advantageous to have the contractors input from an early stage in the design process to inform buildability. BCC’s Commissioning and Procurement Group considered the options and approved the use of SCAPE Minor Works as best suited option to achieving project objectives.
