The Reasons are:

·        
Following a fair and transparent open tender process
the recommendation is to award the contract to the above
contractor, Landscape Engineering Ltd. The overall response across
quality, price and social value was of a sufficient standard to
award. The quality and price scores demonstrate a supplier with the
relevant skills and experience to deliver this scheme within the
allocated budget.

·        
To allow the Council’s Technical Services team
to undertake appropriate supervision and management of the contract
works.

·        
To ensure that there is adequate risk provision and
mitigate against construction phase risk.
 
Options considered and rejected
were: Not to award the
contract.
The
project forms part of the package of schemes that constitute a
network of traffic free routes in City Centre Salford and had
received MCF support for its development phase.
Not
awarding the contract would cause a severe delay in the delivery of
the scheme. This project has received significant public and
political interest in recent months with much anticipation to see
this small section of the riverside made safe and finally opened
up.
 
Assessment of Risk: LOW
·        
Funding is available from the Regen Capital
Programme 2023/24
·        
The council’s Technical Services (Engineering
and Landscape Design, Structures, Lighting) teams are experienced
in the design of schemes of this nature.
·        
The contractor is on the council’s existing
Framework and has a successful track record of delivering schemes
of this nature on behalf of the City Council.
 
The source of funding
is SCC Regen Capital Programme
