Full details of the Council's intentions for the delivery of the housing scheme are set out in the Transparency Notice, notice identifier: 2026/s 000-043335 published 12 May 2026. The Council considers that the land transaction pursuant to the Land Swap Agreement (as further detailed below) will not meet the definition of public "works contract" as Berkeley/St William (Berkeley) will not be obligated to complete any works pursuant to it. The arrangements do include a series of ancillary agreements, as further set out below. This includes an agreement for the conditional purchase and development of Linear Blocks, to which this notice specifically relates. The Council's Contract Award Notice with respect to this contract was published on 5 August 2026, with notice identifier: 2026/S 000-074289 The total "land swap" transaction will be contracted for in phases as follows: Primary Agreement: 1. Land Swap Agreement - Subject to achieving a satisfactory planning permission and Berkeley (at its own volition) building to a "golden brick" level on the part of the Site known as "Block G" (currently owned by Berkeley), Berkeley will transfer the freehold interest in Block G to the Council in return for the Council transferring its part of the Site to Berkeley. There will be additional balancing payments paid by each party to ensure the agreed price is received for each party's land. 2. Block G - Following completion of the land swap, Berkeley will obtain a permissive licence from the Council to continue to occupy Block G for the purposes of completing the construction of Block G (at its own volition) in accordance with the relevant planning permission, being the planning permission with reference 22/03224/EFUL as varied under reference 25/02547/VAR for the construction of 92 dwellings. Note that the Council do not consider that this arrangement meets the definition of a public works contract. 3. Fit out works - Within the Land Swap Agreement, the Council will also have an option (but not an obligation) to call for Berkeley to enter a contract to upgrade the finish for Block G at an additional cost. The Council considers that if it chooses to enter into such an agreement in the future, the value of this contract will be below the threshold for a public works contract under the Procurement Act 2023. Ancillary Agreement/s - to which this notice specifically relates 4. Conditional Purchase Agreement for Linear Blocks - subject to completing the Land Swap Agreement, the site for the Linear Blocks will then be owned by Berkeley. Subject to funding and therefore at its option, the Council may purchase c120 dwellings known as the "Linear Blocks" from Berkeley at golden brick.
