Focused on flood-prevention works, this project involves the design and installation of natural flood management and sustainable drainage systems. The procurement method employed was a restricted procedure, suitable for selective tendering. Key dates included the tender process ending on 24th June 2025, with the contract period running from 1st September 2025 to 31st October 2026.
