Reasons for the Decision: |
This scheme forms part of a broader package of sites being brought to market. Significant work has taken place to review each in detail, and carefully consider, the correct strategy for the scheme. Various iterations of the planned route to market and packaging of sites to attract the right bidders and provide value for money have been discussed over the last 12 months.
An outcome of this process is to recommend direct award of a Pre-Contract Services Agreement through the Efficiency North (EN: Procure) New Build framework. Utilising Efficiency North’s Framework Capability Criteria, O&P Construction Limited were the highest ranked contractor with capacity to undertake the proposed works in our geographical area. |
