Surrey County Council (SCC) will be working in partnership with the Environment Agency (EA) via a collaborative working arrangement to deliver the River Thames Scheme.
With an investment of £40m to date, the further £61m of funding approved via the OBC is to undertake the following:
- Plan for all statutory consenting for the Scheme, secure a Development Consent Order; and where necessary other consents and permits,
- Undertake further design development, investigations and enabling works,
- Prepare and commence land acquisitions,
- Select a construction partner via an open market tender process and
- Produce and submit the FBC.
In order to deliver the above, the scheme will need to be supported by a number of subject matter experts from outside EA/SCC, including Project Executive.
Following a compliant procurement exercise, it is proposed to award the contract to WSP UK Limited under Crown Commercial Services Framework. The Contract value is up to £800,000.
