Delivery Partner in Relation to Church Street Site A and Possible Future Sites

The Council believes that providing good homes can act as the bedrock of a successful community. In this area of Westminster the overarching aim in delivering regeneration is to provide: Long-term physical, economic and social sustainability; and create a high quality, sustainable mixed-use urban neighbourhood that integrates with the surrounding areas and is attractive to residents and visitors alike. Redevelopment is not merely about upgrading housing stock; it is also about improving the overall quality of people’s lives now and for future generations. The Council requires all those working on the project to understand its approach toward community involvement and be prepared to work collaboratively with the Council, the residents and other stakeholders to develop a flagship scheme. Current proposals for Church Street reflect the uniqueness, diversity and vibrancy of Church Street and will deliver a socially, economically and environmentally sustainable neighbourhood, details of which are contained within the Procurement Documents. The procurement process for Site A provides a tremendous opportunity for potential partners to find out more about this exciting long-term opportunity and for the successful partner to be a part of the journey from the outset and delivery of the first phase. The Council will be developing the Final Business Case which includes the detail of the delivery options/structures and this delivery partner procurement exercise will inform. The work has not concluded but is likely to include an LLP vehicle jointly owned with the development partner to assist with some or all of the design/planning, funding, construction and sales/letting of the development. The Council is seeking a suitable and appropriately qualified partner to deliver Site A and subsequent potential sites identified within the Church Street Masterplan. All amounts are subject to indexation and the procurement contracts make provision for changes allowing for the procurement value to increase beyond the range included in this notice, changes will be in accordance with regulation 72 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015. In Phase 1 the Council will be the successful Tenderer's employer and the Council will self-fund the cost of construction. However, the Council reserves its right to amend the structure and funding plans in relation to Phase 2, including but not limited to appointing a third party employer. The successful Tenderer is not guaranteed to be employed to undertake Phase 2. Subsequent sites or phases shall be subject to - The Future Sites Agreement, which sets out preparations for additional sites (which may be brought forward as sub-phases). Tenderers may note that the Future Sites Agreement provides for the Council's interests in the Future Sites Agreement to be novated to a Council subsidiary, an investment partner (selected by the Council), a traditional developer, a Council procured delivery partner or a combination of any of them. The Future Sites Agreement does not oblige the successful Tenderer to implement subsequent sites or phases but provides a structure to enable the Council and the successful Tenderer, if both parties are willing, to implement some or all of future sites/phases. For the avoidance of doubt, there is no guarantee that the appointed Delivery Partner will be awarded the works for future sites, and any decisions regarding future awards will be at the Council's sole discretion. Further indicative information regarding the Future Sites Agreement is included in the Procurement documents.
