The brief

Kent County Council (KCC) is the largest local authority in England covering an area of 3,500 square kilometres.

It has an annual expenditure of over £1bn on goods and services and a population of 1.6m.

The Council provides a wide range of personal and strategic services on behalf of its residents, operating in partnership with the NHS Kent and Medway Clinical Commissioning Group, 12 district councils, and 289 parish/town councils.

KCC consists of four directorates: - Adult Social Care and Health; - Children, Young People and Education; - Growth, Environment and Transport; and - Strategic and Corporate Services.

This service is being commissioned on behalf of the Growth, Environment and Transport directorate.

It will form part of the Fastrack bus rapid transit system within Kent Thameside.

The tunnel will house a 3.5m wide Bi-directional Fastrack busway linking Whitecliffe and Bluewater, as well as providing a combined footway / cycleway and footway linking the Whitecliffe and Bluewater as part of the Ebbsfleet Garden City green corridor network.

Project value is £25.5m with construction cost budget of circa.
