Grasshopper Communications were
were originally appointed through Arup on the HCA framework, however this framework has expired and HCC require the balance of the services to be completed via a direct appointment. The services to be provided by Grasshopper consist of continuing the liaison between all the parties involved to ensure a successful outcome in respect of the master plan. It is not feasible to tender this award to other suppliers who would be disadvantaged by lacking the background knowledge to complete the service required.
