As the new hospital is a NPD project it was not anticipated that a Clerk of Works was required. However, following the recent publication of the Report of the Independent Inquiry into the Construction of Edinburgh Schools, the project team has determined that a Clerk of Works is now an essential requirement. With building work due to commence in June, a Clerk of Works is required to be in place urgently.
The total estimated value referred to in this notice is for the duration of the commissioning, construction and snagging phases of the contract.
