    "description": "In order to identify the optimum solution to address the issues identified at Heaton, a feasibility and option selection project is required. As Northern doesn't have in-house capabilities to complete this work, an external supplier will be procured to produce the following deliverables:\n•\tSurvey strategy and reports from specific surveys. \n•\tValidate reports, previous work, and proposed changes against applicable rules and constraints \n•\tRisks, issues, assumptions, and dependencies log.\n•\tCompliance with safety and design assurance requirements, Northern policies, and regulatory and industry rules and standards.\n•\tOverall feasibility report including constructability assessment and concept design.\n•\tOptions identification report containing appraisal of possible options.\n•\tSingle option agreement in principle - define the preferred single option for each scheme and obtain agreement in principle with stakeholders.\n•\tPreliminary design - multidisciplinary design of the selected single option.\n•\tDesign specification of requirements for inclusion in the ITT pack for design stage.\nUpon completion of the feasibility and option selection work, the business case for each selected option will be reviewed. Options selected for progression will be setup as individual projects to commence the design and construction phases. These will be subject to their own individual internal governance and procurement processes.\nPlease be advised we have chosen an above threshold tender to comply with our internal decision but the budget is below £355k for the project.",
