## Description
The purpose of this Notice is to inform the market that the Welsh Ministers, having undertaken a non-regulated tender (advertised in November 2023 ) and BDW Trading Limited (BDW) having been selected as the successful contractor in that non-regulated tender, intend to enter into various land transactions to dispose of an interest in land to BDW Trading Limited (BDW) and to enable BDW to deliver 576 homes on the land at Upper Cosmeston Farm, in the Vale of Glamorgan. Details of the land transactions are as follows:(i) a development agreement for the construction of residential units which requires the following to be entered into simultaneously: (a) the grant of the Lease (referred to in (ii) below); (b) completion of the Put Option Agreement and Call Option Agreement (referred to in (iii) below); and (c) completion of the Overage Agreement (referred to in (iv) below):(ii) a lease for a term of 13 years in relation to the land on which construction of the residential units may take place to include a conditional drawdown of that land;(iii) a Put Option Agreement and Call Option Agreement for the benefit of the Welsh Ministers affecting the last 10 residential units constructed or to be constructed on the land, the public realm land and any other land that has not been drawn down by BDW pursuant to the terms of the lease;(iv) an Overage Agreement securing an overage payment in favour of the Welsh Ministers of 50% of the amount by which the Actual Gross Development Value of the Residential Units on the land exceeds 110% of the Estimated Gross Development Value.

A number of bids were submitted in response to that non-regulated tender, and following Welsh Ministers' evaluation of such bids BDW Trading Limited (BDW) were selected as the successful contractor.
The proposed transaction falls outside the scope of application of the Procurement Act 2023 and/or Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (the "Procurement Legislation") as the agreement is a land transaction (as further detailed below). As such, there is no requirement for the Welsh Ministers to publish any form of notice. However, Welsh Ministers are publishing this Transparency Notice in the spirit of transparency and openness.
The principal object of the agreement is the disposal of an interest in land by the Welsh Ministers to BDW. The performance of any works is merely incidental to the transfer of property. The Welsh Ministers are not imposing any legally enforceable obligations on BDW to deliver the project in the Development Agreement. Completion of the Lease, the Put and Call Option Agreements and the Ov...
