Issue details

Following an Executive decision on 26 July 2010 sixty one properties in St Raphael’s and Brentfield estates have been formally determined as contaminated and a remediation statement has been written setting out how the remediation will be undertaken and by when. An award of grant to cover the costs of the remediation works has been made by the Environment Agency which requires the works to be completed by 31 March 2012.  This report informs the Executive of the procurement process proposed and of an exemption to Standing Orders approved on the grounds of extreme urgency to allow tenders to be invited to meet the demanding timetable and avoid potential loss of grant.
