Description
Wrexham County Borough Council, on behalf of the Wrexham Gateway partnership, wish to commission a suitably qualified multi-disciplinary team to provide technical project management and other professional services to the Wrexham Gateway Eastern Zone Development scheme. The scope includes taking the project from a RIBA Stage 2 design pack that has been produced, developing a procurement and funding strategy to procure a development partner to fund and deliver the proposed scheme, producing a tender pack for this procurement, participating in the tender assessment process and drawing up the contract. Other requirements include producing a Full Business Case meeting public sector funding requirements, and leasing agent services.
