As outlined in the procurement documents

Publisher note: At this juncture it is not possible to determine the contract value given the potential range of solutions and funding models that bidders may propose during the course of dialogue, which could include (but not be limited to) any of the following: - Occupational lease - Freehold/long lease - Income strip lease The full range of potential solutions will be explored with participating bidders during the course of the dialogue; the final contract value will be determined at final tender stage by reference to the successful contractor's tender proposal. The expectation is that to satisfy the contracting authority’s need for design and price certainty, bidders will have worked up their designs to RIBA Stage 3 – or will have agreed a suitable proxy for that during the dialogue phase. Whether such objective can be realised will be explored during the course of dialogue and determined by the contracting authority's sole discretion. All tender costs and liabilities incurred by bidders shall be the sole responsibility of bidders. In relation to section II.2.10 of this notice, variants will be accepted to the extent permitted (if at all) in the procurement documents. The contracting authority reserves the right to award the contract in whole or part or to annul the tendering process and not award any contract. The successful contractor will be required to deliver community benefits in support of the contracting authority's social, economic and environmental objectives. Accordingly, contract performance conditions may relate to social, economic and environmental considerations, including but not limited to Social Value Goals, for example, enhancing local employment prospects and providing supply chain opportunities for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), promoting diversity and inclusion and ensuring environmentally sustainable products and practices are procured / adopted. In addition, a prompt payment clause will be set out in the contract terms, which will cascade through to supply chain partners.
