Along with its interactions with the development of a number of new Market Towns whilst supporting the delivery of the OBC, FBC, EIA, TWAO/DCO, enabling works and potentially detailed design development and the procurement of the works packages. The scope may include other related services as required. The requirements will be awarded as task orders under the framework so as to enable the project delivery to stay aligned to the specific requirements and outcomes for each of the stages.
