Decision details

To support the Council’s delivery of the Northern Gateway Western Access scheme during the scheme’s pre-construction stages (ie. SCAPE Stage 2/ Outline Business Case and SCAPE Stage 3/ Full Business Case), a dedicated external consultancy, Bentley Project Management UK Ltd, has been procured to provide project management, cost management, business case preparation and assurance, and land and property development commercial services. This is because the Council does not have the necessary internal resources or technical skills to deliver this time critical work which is required to progress the Stage 2 (OBC) and Stage 3 (FBC) Pre-construction stages of the Western Access scheme in compliance with Investment Zone grant funding requirements (see attachment).
