The site is of significant regional importance due to its strong transport links to London and local workforce access.

The Council may utilise the Framework Agreement to deliver hard facilities management activities such as grounds maintenance, building maintenance, infrastructure maintenance, etc. if required and as appropriate to the framework contractor's business activities and expertise on either a short or longer term basis.
To ensure that the Council is able to provide an effective response to prospective tenants whilst the procurement procedure to establish the Framework Agreement is undertaken it reserves the right to utilise its incumbent contractor BAM Construct UK, further details are included within Section “VI.3) Additional Information” of this Contract Notice.
