Welsh council to procure £3m panel for legal advice on major projects

The local authority said the projects included the Wylfa Newydd nuclear new build and North Wales connection project as well as other potential energy projects.

It added that the framework would ensure the council “has suitable advice to support project teams and officers throughout the process of reviewing and negotiating mitigation measures, requirements, conditions, planning obligations and non-statutory arrangements relating to both development consent order applications and any preliminary and town and country applications made to the council”.

The framework, which is expected to last 48 months, will be awarded on the basis of quality (weighting: 60) and price (weighting: 40).
