What is being bought

Published requirement description

The London Borough of Merton (the “Council”) is conducting a Preliminary Market Engagement (“PME”) exercise, to inform the planned procurement of a Development Partner for three sites within Morden Town Centre:

• Abbotsbury Triangle

• The Civic Centre

• Kenley Road Car Park

The programme envisages the delivery of a comprehensive regeneration programme that will transform Morden into a thriving mixed-use destination, comprising in excess of 1,500 mixed-tenure homes (including new and replacement affordable housing), a new Civic Hub, enhanced retail, leisure and commercial space, and extensive public realm improvements. The Council is seeking a long-term development partner to help unlock Morden’s significant growth potential and deliver lasting economic, social and environmental value.

The purpose of this PME is to share detail and, where relevant, seek feedback on:

• The strategic proposition and vision for Morden Town Centre;

• Land assembly approach;

• Approach to affordable housing;

• Procurement process; and

• Commercial arrangements and appointment.

This PME notice is not a call for competition.

    The London Borough of Merton intends to engage with potential suppliers, who have both the experience and capability commensurate with the scale and nature of this opportunity, and reserves the right to limit the number of participants. This may involve meeting with some or all respondents to this more…notice. The Council anticipates that it will outline the high-level findings from this PME process and how these have informed the development of the procurement process in the tender documentation (while maintaining confidentiality for all parties). This activity is focussed on the market, rather than the merits of individual suppliers. It includes no element of supplier selection or bid evaluation. There is no commitment of any kind inferred by either party.
