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).
