NEW KMCIRS-130 Provision of Consultancy Services for the Low Carbon Housing Project

The Council is looking to appoint consultants who will develop a pilot Low Carbon affordable housing project on land in its ownership through RIBA stages 1 to 4, through the design phases and achieving full planning consent which will be capable of implementation. The project will move at a quick pace, so the Council requires a consultant with the relevant skills, direct experience and knowledge of scoping, designing and delivering a medium to large-scale Passivhaus/low carbon scheme or schemes. It is the council’s expectation that the project will be led by a Architect/Principal Designer, and will include a multidisciplinary team assembled by the Architect/Principal Designer to provide professional services to secure a deliverable planning permission for this site, with potential for further participation working with the build contractor in the project through the subsequent build phase. The site address is the RM Grylls Site, Second Avenue, Hightown, Liversedge, West Yorkshire WF15 8JP. The Project is expected to deliver a minimum of 125 low carbon homes on the site, a minimum of which 20 will be expected to be constructed to a Certified Passivhaus standard.
