They will procure and manage specialist subcontractors and suppliers to transform up to 40 hectares of industrial land into parkland, waterways and public spaces.

This will include hard and soft landscape works including tree planting and the construction of the concourse which will link all the venues, entrances and parklands.

The contract will also include creating new wetland and other wildlife habitats, installing new allotments and permanent park furniture, lighting, irrigation and drainage.

The Park has been landscaped by LDA Design and Hargreaves Associates.

John Hopkins, the ODA head of parklands and public realm, said: “This is another important step towards the creation of the parklands that will both enhance the experience of the Games for spectators, athletes and TV viewers and leave a fantastic new green space in legacy."

Edmund Nuttall has already been awarded the contract for civils, roads and bridges in the south end of the Park.
