Lot 1

Building and facilities management services. Construction work for university buildings. Construction work. Building construction work. Construction-related services. Multidwelling buildings construction work. Multi-functional buildings construction work. Repair and maintenance services of building installations. Miscellaneous repair and maintenance services. Accommodation and office services. In 2012, the University sought partners to establish a long term partnership to facilitate the design, build, finance and maintenance of 648 new bedrooms of student accommodation within the University of Essex Knowledge Gateway site ready for the start of the 2013/2014 academic year, together with the potential leasehold sale of an established residential development comprising 767 bedrooms (the "Phase 1" project). ULiving Consortium were identified as the successful tenderer, and subsequently entered into the contract (via a special purpose vehicle called ULiving@Essex Limited) to provide the required services with the University. In line with market norms, the Phase 1 project documentation contained a Restrictive Covenant which restricted the University's ability to provide additional student accommodation unless certain student to bed ratio and occupancy track record tests were met. Contracts relating to a second phase of residences ("Phase 2A") were entered into with the ULiving Consortium (via a special purpose vehicle called ULiving@Essex2 Limited) pursuant to a Voluntary ex Ante Transparency Notice (published 23 May 2015), delivering 643 bedrooms (on a design, build, finance and maintenance basis) adjacent to Phase 1. The VEAT Notice was used as the contractual Restrictive Covenant tests on Phase 1 had not been satisfied. Again, in line with market norms, the Phase 2A project documentation contained a Restrictive Covenant which restricted the University's ability to provide additional student accommodation unless certain student to bed ratio and occupancy track record tests were met. The tests for Phase 1 and Phase 2A are set out in VI.3. Phase 2B/2C is the third phase of the residences development and the University wishes to contract for the provision of a further 1,262 units of student residential accommodation on a design, build, finance and operate basis. The ULiving Consortium will (through the use of a special purpose vehicle called ULiving@Essex3 LLP) operate the residences for c 50 years following completion of construction. The sites are located at the University's Colchester Campus. Planning documentation providing further detail can be found here - https://www.colchester.gov.uk/planning-app-details/?id=e2fc087d-84bee911- a976-000d3ab42b3b#ValidationSummaryEntityFormView. The Restrictive Covenant tests under the Phase 1 and Phase 2A documentation have not been satisfied at the time of publication of this notice, meaning that the ULiving Consortium has exclusive rights to deliver Phases 2B and 2C at present and for at least the next 3 years (September 2024 being the earliest point at which the tests can now be met) as the ULiving Consortium (via ULiving@Essex Limited and ULiving@Essex2 Limited) will only consent to the development taking place if the ULiving Consortium (via ULiving@Essex3 LLP) also delivers Phases 2B and 2C. Additional information: The construction value of this project was estimated at the point of issue of the VEAT as between 95 000 000 and 105 000 000 GBP. ULiving@Essex3 LLP will also generate revenue through the operation of the accommodation, by way of retaining the majority of the rental income on rooms reserved by the University or otherwise let over the c 50 year operational period

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 45. The category anchor is Building construction work (45210000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

Procurement strategy & market signals

Framework agreementNot published
Dynamic purchasing systemNot published
Competitive procurementNot published
Recurring requirementNot published
Procurement method rationaleThe Contractor is the only economic operator which can deliver the development due to the existence of exclusive rights owned by it in connection with the services required (pursuant to Regulation 32(2)(b)(iii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015). Those rights exist pursuant to restrictive covenants under existing agreements entered into by the University, and thus the Contractor has an exclusive right in connection with the services required pursuant to Regulation 32(2)(b)(iii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. In 2012, the University sought partners to design, build, finance and maintain 648 new student bedrooms, together with the potential leasehold sale of an established development comprising 767 bedrooms ("Phase 1"). ULiving Consortium were identified as the successful tenderer, and subsequently entered into contract (via a special purpose vehicle called ULiving@Essex Limited) with the University to deliver Phase 1. In line with market norms, the Phase 1 documentation contained a Restrictive Covenant which restricted the University's ability to provide additional student accommodation unless certain tests were met. Contracts relating to the development of additional student residences ("Phase 2A") were entered into with the ULiving Consortium (via ULiving@Essex2 Limited) pursuant to a Voluntary ex Ante Transparency Notice (published 23 May 2015), delivering 643 bedrooms (on a design, build, finance and maintenance basis) adjacent to Phase 1. The VEAT Notice was used as the Restrictive Covenant tests on Phase 1 were not satisfied. In line with market norms, the Phase 2A documentation contained a Restrictive Covenant which restricted the University's ability to provide additional student accommodation unless certain tests were met. The University wishes to contract for the provision of a further 1,262 units of student residential accommodation on a design, build, finance and operate basis. The Restrictive Covenants on Phases 1 and 2A prevent the University from carrying out the development without the consent of companies related to the Contractor unless certain tests are satisfied. The tests are: (a) for each of the previous three (3) consecutive Contract Years the ratio of Total Student Demand to Total Bed Supply has not fallen below 1.5:1.00; (b) the number of proposed further rooms is such that when occupied the ratio of Total Student Demand to Total Bed Supply will not fall below 1.5:1.00 for the following three (3) Contract Years assessed on the basis of the University's projected student number returns to HEFCE (now HESA); (c) for each of the previous three (3) consecutive Contract Years at least ninety eight per cent (98%) of the Rooms within the Accommodation have been occupied for the whole of the relevant Letting Period. Test (a) was not met for the Contract Years 2017/18 and 2018/19 and test (c) has not been satisfied. This is the case for both Phases 1 and 2A. The companies related to the Contractor (such related companies being ULiving@EssexLimited and ULiving@Essex2 Limited) will only consent to the development taking place if it is carried out by the Contractor (via ULiving@Essex3 LLP). The Contractor therefore has exclusive rights to carry out the development.

The VEAT Notice was used as the contractual Restrictive Covenant tests on Phase 1 had not been satisfied. Again, in line with market norms, the Phase 2A project documentation contained a Restrictive Covenant which restricted the University's ability to provide additional student\naccommodation unless certain student to bed ratio and occupancy track record tests were met. The tests for Phase 1 and Phase 2A are set out in VI.3. Phase 2B/2C is the third phase of\nthe residences development and the University wishes to contract for the provision of a further 1,262 units of student residential accommodation on a design, build, finance and\noperate basis. The ULiving Consortium will (through the use of a special purpose vehicle called ULiving@Essex3 LLP) operate the residences for c 50 years following completion of\nconstruction.

Additional information: The construction value of this project was estimated at the point of issue of the VEAT as between 95 000 000 and 105 000 000 GBP. ULiving@Essex3 LLP will also generate revenue through the operation of the accommodation, by way of retaining the majority of the rental income on rooms reserved by the University or otherwise let over the c 50 year operational period",

The Restrictive Covenants on Phases 1 and 2A prevent the University from carrying out the development without the consent of companies related to the Contractor unless certain tests are satisfied.\nThe tests are:\n(a) for each of the previous three (3) consecutive Contract Years the ratio of Total Student Demand to Total Bed Supply has not fallen below 1.5:1.00;\n(b) the number of proposed further rooms is such that when occupied the ratio of Total Student Demand to Total Bed Supply will not fall below 1.5:1.00 for the following three (3) Contract Years assessed on the basis of the University's projected student number returns to HEFCE (now HESA);\n(c) for each of the previous three (3) consecutive Contract Years at least ninety eight per cent (98%) of the Rooms within the Accommodation have been occupied for the whole of the relevant Letting Period. Test (a) was not met for the Contract Years 2017/18 and 2018/19 and test (c) has not been satisfied. This is the case for both Phases 1 and 2A. The companies related to the Contractor (such related companies being ULiving@EssexLimited and ULiving@Essex2 Limited) will only consent to the development taking place if it is carried out by the Contractor (via ULiving@Essex3 LLP).

In line with market norms, the Phase 1 project documentation contained a Restrictive Covenant which restricted the University's ability to provide additional student accommodation unless certain student to bed ratio and occupancy track record tests were met.  \nContracts relating to a second phase of residences (\"Phase 2A\") were entered into with the ULiving Consortium (via a special purpose vehicle called ULiving@Essex2 Limited) pursuant to a Voluntary ex Ante Transparency Notice (published 23 May 2015), delivering 643 bedrooms (on a design, build, finance and maintenance basis) adjacent to Phase 1.  The VEAT Notice was used as the contractual Restrictive Covenant tests on Phase 1 had not been satisfied.  Again, in line with market norms, the Phase 2A project documentation contained a Restrictive Covenant which restricted the University's ability to provide additional student accommodation unless certain student to bed ratio and occupancy track record tests were met.  The tests for Phase 1 and Phase 2A are set out in VI.3.  Phase 2B/2C is the third phase of the residences development and the University wishes to contract for the provision of a further 1,262 units of student residential accommodation on a design, build, finance and operate basis.  The ULiving Consortium will (through the use of a special purpose vehicle called ULiving@Essex3 LLP) operate the residences for c 50 years following completion of construction.  The sites are located at the University's Colchester Campus.  Planning documentation providing further detail can be found here - https://www.colchester.gov.uk/planning-app-details/?id=e2fc087d-84be-e911-a976-000d3ab42b3b#ValidationSummaryEntityFormView.  The Restrictive Covenant tests under the Phase 1 and Phase 2A documentation have not been satisfied at the time of publication of this notice, meaning that the ULiving Consortium has exclusive rights to deliver Phases 2B and 2C at present and for at least the next 3 years (September 2024 being the earliest point at which the tests can now be met) as the ULiving Consortium (via ULiving@Essex Limited and ULiving@Essex2 Limited) will only consent to the development taking place if the ULiving Consortium (via ULiving@Essex3 LLP) also delivers Phases 2B and 2C. Additional information: The construction value of this project is currently estimated between 95 000 000 and 105 000 000 GBP. ULiving@Essex3 LLP will also generate revenue through the operation of the accommodation, by way of retaining the majority of the rental income on rooms reserved by the University or otherwise let over the c 50 year operational period"

The Restrictive Covenants on Phases 1 and 2A prevent the University from carrying out the development without the consent of companies related to the Contractor unless certain tests are satisfied.  \nThe tests are:\n(a) for each of the previous three (3) consecutive Contract Years the ratio of Total Student Demand to Total Bed Supply has not fallen below 1.5:1.00;\n(b) the number of proposed further rooms is such that when occupied the ratio of Total Student Demand to Total Bed Supply will not fall below 1.5:1.00 for the following three (3) Contract Years assessed on the basis of the University's projected student number returns to HEFCE (now HESA);\n(c) for each of the previous three (3) consecutive Contract Years at least ninety eight per cent (98%) of the Rooms within the Accommodation have been occupied for the whole of the relevant Letting Period.\nTest (a) was not met for the Contract Years 2017/18 and 2018/19 and test (c) has not been satisfied.  This is the case for both Phases 1 and 2A.\nThe companies related to the Contractor (such related companies being ULiving@Essex Limited and ULiving@Essex2 Limited) will only consent to the development taking place if it is carried out by the Contractor (via ULiving@Essex3 LLP).
