## Notice

Project Description - The works comprise improvements to an existing canal within the Wichelstowe District Centre including sheet piling, installation of a lit towpath, installation of surface water outfalls and the creation of a planted ecological edge. The materials and finish are key to setting the benchmark for how the next phase of development is perceived and care has been taken in the design to reflect this approach. The works to the canal are also time critical as sections of the works need to be completed to allow adjacent development to progress. It is anticipated that the value of the works will be in excess of PS2million. Details relating to the Services are provided in the tender documents. The contract will commence in November 2017.
