Construction

Bevan Brittan’s Construction Department is at the forefront of working with public sector organisations to develop innovative forms of contract and standardised contract documentation. We advise throughout the public sector on powers and issues relating to CPO, particularly in the context of major developments and regeneration projects.

We can advise on the use of standard or bespoke contracts for specific projects and the implications of risk allocation and management under the relevant documents. We can help agree contracts and sub-contracts and negotiate loss claims. Whenever defects or claims occur, we will quickly provide a comprehensive, practical and cost effective response which could include negotiation, Alternative Dispute Resolution (including Mediation), adjudication, arbitration or litigation, ensuring control remains firmly in your hands.

Recent projects include:

·  Assisting VOSA in setting up term contract arrangements for the engagement of a single contractor and a single team of consultants who would be available over four-year periods to carry out all necessary design, construction and testing of individual Vehicle Testing Centres.

· We have advised the Gwent Healthcare NHS Trust in relation to the new Caerphilly and Ebbw Vale Hospitals Project. Work included the construction procurement, in particular, on how the new PPP arrangements will work and how they will differ from the more traditional construction approaches usually adopted by the Trust.  We have also advised on the contractual arrangements (outside the PPP arrangements) for carrying out remedial and other preparatory works in order to be able to proceed with the detailed design and construction of the new hospital on a clear and remediated site.

Services include:

• Construction contracts (inc. standard form)

• Defects Liability, Collateral warranties, Bank and Surety bonds, professional appointments and procurement

• PPPs

• Health and Safety

• Infrastructure Projects
