  • A289 Four Elms Roundabout to Medway Tunnel improvements
  • Strood town centre journey time improvements
  • Medway City Estate connectivity improvements

Decision number:

Decision:

89/2015

The Cabinet approved the procurement of one or more consultants for design and contractors for construction of the projects outlined in the report in order to successfully deliver the Local Growth Fund programme, as follows:

 

  • Cycle Action Plan project – Traditional procurement approach
  • Strood Town Centre project – Traditional procurement approach
  • Medway City Estate project – Traditional procurement approach
  • A289 Four Elms roundabout project – Procurement options report to be presented to a future meeting.

 

Reasons:

 

The decision to commence procurement of the necessary design consultation for each project will allow officers to commence the delivery of each project. A delay in the ability to procure the required design consultancy and construction delivery will have a negative impact on the Council’s ability to deliver these Local Growth Fund projects.
