? Establish a methodology for successful deliverability and implementation, further to that there would be a potential requirement to produce additional detailed design work.
It will be essential for the consultants to demonstrate similar, recent and successful project experience. A proven track record of being able to build consensus and promote the opportunities to all stakeholders (private, public and network rail) will be key as will be an ability recommended/develop an equitable arrangement as regards value and returns where appropriate.
