Summary of the contracting process

The contract, awarded to Willmott Dixon Construction, involves entering into a JCT Design and Build 2016 agreement to complete the remaining construction works. This contract is valued at £8,342,498 and is scheduled to run for a period of 10 months starting from December 2024.
