The Office of Government Procurement issued guidance in 2020/2021 for public authorities setting out a cost sharing mechanism to address additional costs incurred by contractors as a result of public health measures arising from the Covid-19 pandemic. This guidance was applied on the Grangegorman Quads project as the construction programme was impacted by these public health measures. In addition to the cost sharing mechanism set out above a re-profiling of Unitary Charge payments to address the construction delays experienced as a result of Covid-19 occurred.
Projected Total Cost are published on the Central PPP Policy Unit summary updates on operational PPP projects.
