EDEN FUNDING MONITOR

Eden Project Morecambe is firmly moving in to delivery phase. To provide assurance over spend and claims it is a requirement of the funding bodies that an Independent Funding Monitor (Qualified Quantity Surveyor or similar) is appointed to advise. Given the Programme for delivery of Eden Project Morecambe and gateway stages required to secure funding it is essential that the Funding Monitor is in post urgently and that procurement is started as soon as possible with appointment during June 2025. The cost of the Funding Monitor role will be borne by the Project and not the Council.
