The aim is to obtain a proposal for the detailed design and specification of four blue-green infrastructure enhancement projects in areas of Didcot identified and analysed in the Green Infrastructure strategy (see Figure 1) through RIBA Stage 2-4. The proposal will include:
• Principal Designer requirements under The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015
• commissioning and carrying out of all surveys required to inform design and planning applications
• engagement with relevant landowners (including the council) in liaison with the Didcot Garden Town team
• preparation of drawings and documents, subject to council approval, required to secure planning permission with a focus on electronic versions rather than paper
• preparation of specifications, including drawings and documents, to enable the council to procure contractors to implement the works on the ground.

Project management of works on the ground, using the specifications prepared under this contract, is a future deliverable and will be procured separately by the council in due course.

We are seeking a multi-disciplined team of consultants that cover a range of skill sets to enable the successful delivery of this commission, which may include the following:
• Landscape architect / lead consultant (Principal Designer under CDM regs)
• Quantity Surveyor
• Planner
• Ecologist
• Hydrologist / drainage engineer
