- Lot 1 · #1Individual lot title not publishedStatus not publishedPublished valueNot publishedThe Council has agreed a sale of the Site to the Developer and the parties are now looking to enter into a Sale Contract which is subject to various conditions precedent being satisfied the main one being the Developer obtaining a satisfactory planning permission. Provided that the conditions precedents are satisfied (or waived) the Council will transfer the freehold ownership of the Site to the Developer. The Site is subject to a restriction which limits its development to affordable housing. The purchase price for the sale of the Site will be calculated by reference to a formula which is dependent on the planning permission being granted. The Sale Contract envisages the Developer obtaining the planning permission but does not impose any binding obligation on the Developer to develop the Site. The Parties are also intending to enter into an Agreement for Lease consecutively with the Sale Agreement which envisages the Council will purchase the affordable rent units from the Developer (under a Lease arrangement) once they have reached the stage of practical completion, to fulfil the Developer's obligations under a section 106 agreement to ensure affordable rent accommodation is included within the development, in addition to the affordable housing on the rest of the Site. The purchase price for the circa 95 affordable rented units (actual figure to be determined when planning permission is secured) the Council is intending to acquire is to be calculated in accordance with the formula set out in the Agreement for Lease. Various deposit payments will be made to the Developer upon different stages of construction being reached for the affordable rented units by way of reservation of the units. Total value of the procurement (excluding VAT): £300 to £330 per square foot gross internal area to be determined as per the formula set out in Agreement for LeaseContract periodNot publishedEligibilityNot publishedOptions / renewalNot published

Procedure rationaleRegulation 2 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 defines a public works contract as 'public contracts which has as their object any of the following:
(a) the execution, or both the design and execution, of works related to one of the activities listed in Schedule 2;
(b) the execution, or both the design and execution, of a work;
(c) the realisation, by whatever means, of a work corresponding to the requirements specified by the contracting authority exercising a decisive influence on the type or design of the work.
The Council does not consider that the arrangements governed by the agreement for lease or the lease (as described in section II.2.4 of this notice) constitutes the procurement of a public works contract as defined above (or any other type of public contract) within the scope of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or Directive 2014/24/EU for the following reasons:
(i) the agreement for lease and lease do not place any enforceable legal obligations, either immediate or contingent, on the Developer to carry out any works (for the benefit of the Council or otherwise). The agreement for lease and lease envisages that the Developer will initially obtain planning permission, remediation costs, rights to light, stopping-up and access to the site, but does not impose any binding obligation on the Developer to develop the site. If satisfactory the above is achieved the Developer will be able to develop the site but there is no binding obligation on the Developer to do so nor otherwise to procure the carrying out of the relevant development works. The carrying out the relevant development works are for the benefit of the Developer and/or any tenant/occupant of the residential units and not the Council.
(ii) Furthermore, the development works which the agreement for lease envisage may be carried out in the future by the Developer, are not works that have been specified by the Council (being works instead which have been determined by the Developer), nor has the Council nor will the Council have (outside of its separate capacity as local planning authority) any decisive influence on the type or design of the development works.
On this basis, the Council considers that this arrangement is a straight land transaction which falls outside of the scope of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. |
