Purpose

This report sets out the procurement strategy for
feasibility and detailed design for the Better, Safer Kilburn
Scheme. Camden is co-leading this project in partnership with the
London Borough of Brent and Westminster City Council.
 
Following a formal consultation in July and August 2024, a
report on the Better Safer Kilburn scheme is currently in
production, with an expected sign off by the Cabinet Member for
planning and a sustainable Camden, in early February 2025. This
strategy covers the procurement of the next stage of this scheme,
progressing the consultation design into feasibility drawings and
detailed design drawings.
 
The recommended procurement route is through a Request for
Quotation (RfQ) pro-cess, obtaining a minimum of three
quotes for this work, to secure best value and highest quality in
service delivery. The estimated contract value will be capped at
£150,000, for a contract duration of 1 year. Construction
funding will come from a number of sources including central
Council funds (£4 million secured), Transport for London
(TfL) Borough Safer Streets Local Implementation Plan (LIP) funding
(£8 mil-lion bid), as well as other sources via Brent and
Westminster Councils. The feasibility and detailed design contract
would start in late March 2025 and continue for one
year.
