Technical requirements: The construction of 37 new social housing units comprising a mix of terraced, semi detached and detached properties.
Please note a bidders seminar will be held once the shortlist of contractors being invited to tender is in place. This will be just after the issue of tenders.
There may be a potential for further discussion on Castlepark Phase 2 (approx. 37 units) with the successful Phase 1 contractor. This will be based upon the Phase 1 contractor achieving all KPI’s set out in the tender documents. The value for Phase 2 is expected to be of a similar level to Phase 1 with the relevant inflation agreed and applied. Please note that as this is dependant on Government funding at the time, is cannot be guaranteed.
We are also looking for the successful contractor to consider some private development on the remaining site available. This could extend from a minimum of 6 to a maximum of 20 plots, depending on the contractors approach. Various options are available for this in terms of land payments. There would be no requirement to provide affordable housing within the designated area.
As stated in the minimum requirements document, please ensure you provide 3 years annual accounts and your latest set of management accounts with your ESPD.
