These consultants have undertaken assignments ranging from a few hundred to several hundred thousand pounds. It would be a breach of commercial confidentiality to give the fees paid to each consultant but, in total, the corporation estimates that within its total programme of projects £6 million has been paid to engineering and quantity surveying consultants. About £3.6 million has been paid to consultants for project management and other administration.
