Obtain approval for the cost of Broomes Park Flood Alleviation Phase 1 Scheme and for the approval of the appointment of the Contractor for the works. Costs for the scheme were obtained by framework tender, the Council’s procurement process

Decision:

RESOLVED - That:
the Contract for the works is awarded to Westshield Ltd

Reasons for the decision:

Option 1 - The preferred option would be to award the scheme of Broomes Park Flood Alleviation Phase 1 to Westshield Ltd. The implementation of the scheme is essential to alleviate against flooding to the properties on North Dene Park and Broomes Park
