• Demand for temporary accommodation has increased significantly in recent years, with households presenting with a wider range of support, behavioural, safeguarding and accessibility needs. The Council is therefore seeking to provide high-quality, accessible accommodation that is better suited to the needs of modern homelessness services and reduces reliance on costly nightly paid accommodation. • A feasibility study has been undertaken which identified a preferred layout comprising: • Six self-contained temporary accommodation units; • Three wheelchair-accessible apartments designed to meet M4(3) standards; • Three one-bedroom apartments; • Staff office accommodation; • Meeting/interview facilities; • Associated cycle storage, refuse storage and ancillary external works. • The Council intends to appoint a multidisciplinary professional consultancy team to review and validate the existing feasibility work, undertake any further surveys and investigations required, secure planning and statutory approvals, develop the design through the appropriate RIBA stages, support procurement of a construction contractor and provide contract administration and cost management services through to project completion. • Surveys and investigations likely to be required are: • Structural investigations. • Refurbishment and Demolition Asbestos Survey. • Measured building survey. • Topographical survey. • Utilities investigations. • Drainage investigations. • Energy and environmental assessments. • Any other specialist surveys considered necessary.
