Award of Pre-Construction Service Agreement at the Halewick Lane Battery Storage site

The Halewick Lane Battery Storage project proposes the re-development of the previously derelict North Sompting Waste Management Site into an income generating battery storage project.

 

The Cabinet Member for Environment delegated authority to the Director of Environment and Public Protection to award a contract for the design and construction of the scheme following the completion of the procurement process.

 

A Pre-Construction Service Agreement(PCSA) is now required which will permit a contractor to develop and complete a fully costed design with planning consent. At the completion of the PCSA period, and subject to the review and approval of the fully costed design for the project, the County Council will look to award a full design and build contract to the contractor (which will be the subject of a further key decision).

 

This procurement process has now concluded, and the Assistant Director (Environment and Public Protection) will be asked to award the Pre-Construction Service Agreement.
