What is being bought

Published requirement description

Following a competitive flexible procurement (see Tender Notice (2025/S 000-036252) for further details), London Borough of Brent has selected a single delivery partner to establish a contractual partnership to support delivery of the remaining phases of the South Kilburn Regeneration Programme.

The Council intends to appoint a single delivery partner to deliver a programme of regeneration across multiple sites. The estimated development capacity is at least 1,600 new mixed-tenure homes, to be delivered alongside associated social infrastructure, community amenities, commercial / retail space and high-quality public realm.

It should be noted that the 'total value (estimated)' stated in this notice is an estimate based on projections informed by market information and industry standards. The actual value of the contract is dependent on external factors, but the procurement intends to cover the value generated over the 20-year term.

The date the Council's Cabinet approved the decision to award the contract was 12 October 2026.

Assessment summaries were circulated to tenderers on 20 October 2026.

  • How the procedure runs: Interested parties should refer to ‘Section 2: Procurement Process’ of the Invitation to Submit Initial Tenders (“ISIT”) (as issued via the Council’s Portal) for further details of the Council’s intended process for the procurement. Interested parties are invited to submit a completed Initial Tender Response Document (“ITRD”) (the form of which has been issued via the Council’s Portal alongside the ISIT). The ITRD comprises two parts: i. A procurement specific questionnaire, including information about the entity, exclusions and financial and legal capacity and technical ability / experience; and ii. Initial Tender questions which will assess Tenderers’ approaches to matters relevant to the Opportunity, supported by case studies and experience. Completed ITRDs will be evaluated by the Council in accordance with the criteria and methodology set out in Section 3 of the ISIT. Following evaluation of the completed ITRDs received, the Council intends to prepare a shortlist of up to five (5) Tenderers (being those who have passed all relevant sections of procurement specific questionnaire and have achieved the highest scores in the evaluation of Initial Tender questions). The Council will invite the shortlisted Tenderers to participate in Initial Tender presentations / interviews. The Council will formally issue shortlisting letters to the selected Tenderers setting out more detail in respect of the Initial Tender presentations / interviews. Initial Tender presentations / interviews will be evaluated by the Council in accordance with the criteria and methodology set out in Section 3 of the ISIT. Following evaluation of the Initial Tender presentations, it is the Council’s intention to invite up to three (3) Tenderers to submit Detailed Tenders. The Council will formally issue shortlisting letters and an Invitation to Submit Detailed Tenders (“ISDT”) to the selected Tenderers setting out more detail in respect of the Detailed Tenders. In the event that one or more of the shortlisted Tenderers withdraw from the procurement process soon after the ISDT is issued, the Council reserves the right to invite the next highest scoring Tenderer resulting from the Initial Tender stage evaluation (or Tenderers as appropriate) to participate. The Council intends to hold a number of meetings with the Tenderers to discuss their emerging proposals (being the Detailed Tender stage), before issuing a call for Final Tenders. Final Tenders received will be evaluated in accordance with the award criteria set out in the ISIT and further particularised in the ISDT to be issued. Following evaluation, and identification of the most advantageous tender, the Council intends to hold ‘preferred tenderer’ stage with the Tenderer who submitted the most advantageous tender prior to entry into contract so as to clarify and confirm commitments made and for limited post tender negotiation. The Council reserves the right to vary the procurement process set out above and in the procurement documents at any stage in the procurement. The Council considered whether the Opportunity was suitable for dividing into lots. It was determined that the opportunity was not suitable for dividing on the basis that: - dividing into lots could increase technical risk to delivery - the scheme requires a single cohesive approach (and multiple developers could undermine this) - it could make the contract disproportionately expensive to manage. It should be noted that: • The ‘total value (estimated)’ stated in this notice is an expression of the estimated gross development value of the development which could be delivered through the Opportunity. • The ‘tender submission deadline’ stated in this notice is the deadline for submission of Initial Tenders; 16:00 05 September 2025. The deadline for submission of Final Tenders for shortlisted bidders is 16:00 27 March 2026. • The ‘award decision date (estimated)’ stated in this notice is an estimate only and may be subject to change. Tenderers should refer to the Invitation to Submit Initial Tenders for further particulars in respect of both the opportunity and process.

How it runs

Interested parties should refer to ‘Section 2: Procurement Process’ of the Invitation to Submit Initial Tenders (“ISIT”) (as issued via the Council’s Portal) for further details of the Council’s intended process for the procurement.

Interested parties are invited to submit a completed Initial Tender Response Document (“ITRD”) (the form of which has been issued via the Council’s Portal alongside the ISIT). The ITRD comprises two parts:

i. A procurement specific questionnaire, including information about the entity, exclusions and financial and legal capacity and technical ability / experience; and

ii. Initial Tender questions which will assess Tenderers’ approaches to matters relevant to the Opportunity, supported by case studies and experience.

Completed ITRDs will be evaluated by the Council in accordance with the criteria and methodology set out in Section 3 of the ISIT.

Following evaluation of the completed ITRDs received, the Council intends to prepare a shortlist of up to five (5) Tenderers (being those who have passed all relevant sections of procurement specific questionnaire and have achieved the highest scores in the evaluation of Initial Tender questions).

The Council will invite the shortlisted Tenderers to participate in Initial Tender presentations / interviews. The Council will formally issue shortlisting letters to the selected Tenderers setting out more detail in respect of the Initial Tender presentations / interviews.

Initial Tender presentations / interviews will be evaluated by the Council in accordance with the criteria and methodology set out in Section 3 of the ISIT.

Following evaluation of the Initial Tender presentations, it is the Council’s intention to invite up to three (3) Tenderers to submit Detailed Tenders. The Council will formally issue shortlisting letters and an Invitation to Submit Detailed Tenders (“ISDT”) to the selected Tenderers setting out more detail in respect of the Detailed Tenders.

In the event that one or more of the shortlisted Tenderers withdraw from the procurement process soon after the ISDT is issued, the Council reserves the right to invite the next highest scoring Tenderer resulting from the Initial Tender stage evaluation (or Tenderers as appropriate) to participate.

The Council intends to hold a number of meetings with the Tenderers to discuss their emerging proposals (being the Detailed Tender stage), before issuing a call for Final Tenders.

Final Tenders received will be evaluated in accordance with the award criteria set out in the ISIT and further particularised in the ISDT to be issued.

Following evaluation, and identification of the most advantageous tender, the Council intends to hold ‘preferred tenderer’ stage with the Tenderer who submitted the most advantageous tender prior to entry into contract so as to clarify and confirm commitments made and for limited post tender negotiation.

The Council reserves the right to vary the procurement process set out above and in the procurement documents at any stage in the procurement.

The Council considered whether the Opportunity was suitable for dividing into lots. It was determined that the opportunity was not suitable for dividing on the basis that:

  • dividing into lots could increase technical risk to delivery
  • the scheme requires a single cohesive approach (and multiple developers could undermine this)
  • it could make the contract disproportionately expensive to manage.

It should be noted that:

  • The ‘total value (estimated)’ stated in this notice is an expression of the estimated gross development value of the development which could be delivered through the Opportunity.
  • The ‘tender submission deadline’ stated in this notice is the deadline for submission of Initial Tenders; 16:00 05 September 2025. The deadline for submission of Final Tenders for shortlisted bidders is 16:00 27 March 2026.
  • The ‘award decision date (estimated)’ stated in this notice is an estimate only and may be subject to change.
