To appoint Project Centre Limited as principal
highway design contractor for detailed scheme design.

Reasons for the decision

Three highway design contractors have supplied
quotes to undertake this work. Project Centre Limited supplied the
lowest cost and best value quote.

Alternative options considered

Not progressing with early detailed design
work at this point would make it impossible for the council to
deliver the junction improvements within the funding window. Three
quotes were received from highway design firms and the chosen
proposal represented lowest cost and best value (with regards cost
of full detailed design works).
