Authority: Homes England (the name adopted by the Homes and Communities Agency) (Public body)·On behalf of: JONES LANG LASALLE SERVICES LIMITED
Re-procurement plannedHomes England - Warwick Bar Phase 2 Digbeth, Birmingham - Development Partner · tender expected
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionFazeley Street is a 1.4ha (3.46 acre) site in the Digbeth area of Central Birmingham. Homes England holds a 250 year headlease for the site. It is currently occupied by a series of tenants on sub-leases, who primarily operate in the media, charitable and creative sectors.
The site has a range of historic (some locally listed) and new buildings. There is some limited opportunity for infill development to enhance the use and cohesion of the site.
Homes England is looking to dispose of its leasehold interests to a development partner who will actively manage the site to support its current tenants and seek to enhance the size and importance of this media cluster. Purchasers may also consider the opportunities for limited development sympathetic to the current tenants operations, the historic environment and subject to planning.
Fazeley Street represents a unique opportunity to support the emerging media cluster in Digbeth.
Homes England and its public sector partners (Birmingham City Council & the West Midlands Combined Authority) are keen to see this site play an important part in the growth of the media cluster and the wider regeneration of Digbeth.
Homes England does not envisage providing any further financial support for the site or its purchaser.
The value of the opportunity is the envisaged gross development value of the project. No differential between the inclusive of VAT and exclusive of VAT values are noted as the VAT treatment has not been determined.
This award is subject to conditions and contract.
- How the procedure runs: Homes England is following the Competitive Flexible Procedure under the Procurement Act 2023 to identify the best solution to meet its objectives. This opportunity takes the form of a streamlined two stage process: Stage 1: PSQ Selection Stage 2: Invitation to Tender (ITT) and Contract Award Stage 1: PSQ has been designed to assess the suitability of a Bidder to deliver the contract requirements and if you are successfully shortlisted following evaluation and moderation, bidders will be invited to tender at Stage 2 which will comprise clarification meetings following tender submission. Following submission and evaluation of PSQ responses, Homes England anticipates that three (3) Bidders will be invited to participate in Stage 2: ITT. Homes England reserves the right to invite four (4) Bidders to Stage 2 in the event that two or more Bidders achieve identical Technical Ability scores and are both ranked third, preventing clear identification of three distinct candidates (further detail can be found in the Memorandum of Information). Shortlisted bidders will be invited to submit at Stage 2: ITT. Following the submission of tender responses, Homes England reserves the right to hold clarification meetings (if required) to discuss aspects of the bidder's tender submission. Homes England reserves the right to moderate the scoring at ITT stage based on the clarification meetings held. Following clarification meetings, it is anticipated that the Bidder which achieves the highest score will be awarded 'Preferred Bidder' status. Preferred Bidder selection and contract award will form part of Stage 2.
