Decision details

At its meeting on 4 October 2022, Cabinet “Authorised the Executive Director, Growth and Regeneration, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Transport, to take all steps required to spend the funding including to procure and award the contract(s) (including individual contracts above £500k)”. With the construction contractor now in place, a contract is now required to appoint an NEC Project Management and site supervision team, following a compliant tender process.

Approval to award a contract to Constellia via the SEWTAPS framework for A4018 NEC Project Management team.

Option 1 - The only alternative option would be not to appoint a team to supervise the construction of the scheme which would put the council at risk of the construction contractor working outside the bounds of their contract, which would put the available funding at risk and not provide the improvements to active travel on this part of the A4018.
