Mr. Dover

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment on what grounds he will allow derelict land grant reclamation contracts to be awarded to contractors on a negotiated basis.

Mr. Robin Squire

Normally reclamation works supported by derelict land grant must be subject to competitive tendering. However, a negotiated contract may be accepted where site constraints make it reasonable to employ a contractor reclaiming adjacent land; or where the future occupant of the site wishes to reclaim the land himself. In either case the Department must be satisfied that the estimated costs represent value for money.
