What is being bought
Tower Hamlets aims to create a number of extra care bed places within the borough to the benefit of its existing residents and families, and to reduce the ongoing financial burden of out of borough placements, which is unsustainable in the long term. In addition, Tower Hamlets has one of the most ethnically diverse populations in Britain, home to many communities including the largest Bangladeshi community in the country, accounting for 34.6% of the overall population in the Borough.
The site at Augusta Street, adjacent to Bartlett Park, has been identified as providing a Culturally Sensitive Extra Care Housing development and potentially some general needs housing
London Borough of Tower Hamlets (LBTH) is seeking to procure an architectural design consultant to develop a design for the land adjacent to Bartlett Park.
The design team are asked to explore and present a range of options that make best use of the underdeveloped land for housing with Extra Care and to increase the supply for general needs affordable housing, which includes:
• Preparing a hybrid planning application to comprise a) an outline approval (RIBA stage 2) for the entire scheme and b) a detailed planning application (RIBA Stage 3) for the extra care housing development.
• Subject to pre-app discussions, a detailed application (RIBA Stage 3) for the entire site to include Extra Care housing and general needs housing.
The Contract Period is initially for a period of 12 months, although the Authority reserves the right to extend the Contract on the same terms for further period of 3 months, making a total possible Contract Period of 15 months.
The estimated contract value of this Contract is £250,000 (excluding VAT).
