BAM Construction has entered talks with Sheffield University to deliver a flagship hub building for the social sciences departments.<\/p>\n

If successfully concluded, BAM would replace preferred bidder Kier, which had been lined up for the \u00a365m job with a pre-construction services agreement over a year ago.<\/p>\n

Kier had been expected to start the 180,000 sq ft\u00a0complex, which will be built on a sports pitch on the western edge of the Broomhill campus, at the start of 2019.<\/p>\n

The project was delayed by nearly a year after a University spending review. Following the delay, Kier has failed to agree a final contract price with the University.<\/p>\n

Initially, the scheme was expected to cost around \u00a350m but that has soared to \u00a365m.<\/p>\n

Second place\u00a0bidder BAM is now in talks with the University about taking on the contract although nothing has been agreed, according to project sources.<\/p>\n

The two-year project will unite three departments \u2013 economics, politics and sociology \u2013 as a \u2018hub\u2019 under one roof.<\/p>\n

Currently the Social Sciences estate is spread across 19 different buildings across campus.<\/p>\n
