Procedure rationaleThe Land Collaboration Agreement and any Conditional Freehold Disposal of Land to the First or Second Developers either individually or collectively are not considered procurement of works or services and therefore outside the scope of Public Contract Regulation 2015. In reaching this view, Homes England has obtained external legal advice supporting this position.
Before adopting this approach for Northstowe Phase 2, competitive procurements have been undertaken with limited success. These failed procurements have undermined the pace of development and contributed to the justification of the approach outlined here.
For the wider Northstowe development opportunity, Homes England will continue to engage developers in a range of ways across its land portfolio, including opportunities for up to 5,000 homes at Phase 3A and Phase 3B. |
