Purpose

Following a tender process via the
Council’s Highways Framework, the Council can begin work on
the permanent improvements to the Princess Victoria Street
Pedestrianisation Scheme.
This officer decision notice is in relation to awarding the
contract to the successful contractor, ETM Ltd with a bid of
£399,570.21.
A delegated decision authorised the Executive Director for Growth
and Regeneration, in consultation with the Committee Chair for
Transport and Connectivity and the s151 officer Services to take
all steps required to procure and award all necessary contracts
outlined in the cabinet paper on 24 January 2023 (agenda no

A separate ODN was also published to increase this value by an
additional £499,524 which means this tender return is within
the budget allocation of the project.
