The Sunderland City Council has successfully completed a procurement process to secure legal support for the development consent order related to its International Advanced Manufacturing Park. The tender, titled "Legal Support to develop, deliver and advise the Council's on the development consent order for International Advanced Manufacturing Park," was conducted as a direct award, with the contract valued at £224,500. The contract period commenced on 9th January 2017 and concluded on 30th March 2018.
