Purpose

Rossendale Borough Council successfully secured funding for the gyratory project from the Capital Regeneration Project supported by the Levelling Up Fund (LUF) for East Lancashire. The procurement will be tendered via a competitive process fully compliant with the Public Procurement Regulations.

The preferred route to market is via an open tender process, however this is subject to the finalisation and provision of specification documents, drawings and site and scope information to be prepared by and received from consultants to be published with the tender documents. Third-party frameworks may also be considered and may be utilised should time restraints dictate this.

An agreement between LCC and RBC is required to deliver the project and the terms are being discussed and are to be finalised.

Decision

John Davies, Head of Highways Network Management, took the decision to approve the procurement initiative plan.
