Approve an award of Contract to Charles
Ramsden under Contract Standing Order (CSO) 9.07.1c.

challenges, and are best placed to provide quality EA services from

(EoD)
Option considered to appoint all consultant
services separately. However, this option was discounted due to the
lower construction value of the scheme. Consequently, these

multi-disciplinary consultancy that has extensive experience in
providing these services for Council schemes of various sizes, and
most importantly has fundamental insight into the council
ER’s and GLA requirements.
