Decision details

This report sets out the procurement strategy for feasibility and detailed design for the Better, Safer Kilburn Scheme. Camden is co-leading this project in partnership with the London Borough of Brent and Westminster City Council.

Following a formal consultation in July and August 2024, a report on the Better Safer Kilburn scheme is currently in production, with an expected sign off by the Cabinet Member for planning and a sustainable Camden, in early February 2025. This strategy covers the procurement of the next stage of this scheme, progressing the consultation design into feasibility drawings and detailed design drawings.

The recommended procurement route is through a Request for Quotation (RfQ) pro-cess, obtaining a minimum of three quotes for this work, to secure best value and highest quality in service delivery. The estimated contract value will be capped at £150,000, for a contract duration of 1 year. Construction funding will come from a number of sources including central Council funds (£4 million secured), Transport for London (TfL) Borough Safer Streets Local Implementation Plan (LIP) funding (£8 mil-lion bid), as well as other sources via Brent and Westminster Councils. The feasibility and detailed design contract would start in late March 2025 and continue for one year.

The following document has been used in the preparation of this report: Camden Transport Strategy Delivery Plan 2025-28.

THAT the Director of Environment and Sustainability approves the procurement strategy, which includes a price/quality split of 40/60 and contract term of 1 year for an estimated aggregate value of £150,000.
