£482k in the pipeline, £139k agreed
The pipeline holds £482k of change value: £139k agreed this period, £236k submitted and awaiting a decision, and £107k in preparation. Kingsferry Crossing carries the largest single position. These values do not establish net margin, billing or cash receipt.
The register supports recovery actions. Commercial review must check contractual entitlement, evidence, notice compliance and the applicable deadlines for each line; submitted or preparation status alone does not prove recovery.

What it takes to recover it
The pipeline splits by recorded agreement status and the action needed next. Check contractual entitlement and notice requirements before relying on the proposed action dates.
Progress the £146k Kingsferry Crossing position, including the £31k re-measure with its recorded 15 May decision target. Prepare Cathedral Quarter's £85k and Northgate's £22k positions, checking entitlement and notices. The submitted and preparation balances total £343k of change value awaiting agreement, not net margin or cash.
The time-critical positions
Recorded planning positions within six weeks, with action dates to review against the relevant contract. Together they are the £228k the desk works first; the register does not certify notice deadlines.
| Contract | Position | Value | Decision by |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kingsferry Crossing | Re-measure claim, submitted | £31k | 15 May |
| Cathedral Quarter | Client-driven change, in prep | £85k | 22 May |
| Riverside FM | Reactive works, submitted | £62k | 28 May |
| Bluewater Tower | Lighting design, submitted | £28k | 04 Jun |
| Northgate Cat-B | Fire-stopping, in prep | £22k | 06 Jun |
| Time-critical balance | £228k | within 6 weeks | |
The decision dates above are recorded action dates. Review must confirm entitlement, supporting evidence and contractual notice requirements for each position. Submission, preparation or a planned date alone does not establish recoverability or compliance.
The £228k time-critical balance is a subset of the £343k change value awaiting agreement, not an additional balance. Recorded agreement still requires valuation progression; no net margin or collection is demonstrated here.
