Southwark Council intends to commence procurement of a development partner or partners for the provision of around 585 homes across 10 different sites in early 2017 with an intended contract commencement around October 2017 starting on site early 2018.
This procurement is part of Southwark's Regeneration in Partnership Programme (SRPP) which aims to deliver approximately 1,400 new homes of mixed tenure through a development partnership agreement.
This procurement is made up of 10 sites, as listed below, located in the north of the borough with the following breakdown of units:
There may also be provision to include another site at South Dock Marina Boatyard, Plough Way SE16 for 193 units.
Please note this is an indicative list, further details on each of the sites will be provided at the Open day, and the final composition of the list will be confirmed at the tender stage.
Southwark Council expects to achieve a minimum of 35 % affordable units on each site. There is however flexibility to determine the affordable units requirements on two sites where sites are within close proximity of each other. This is to be negotiated with the planners. The successful bidder(s) will be expected to enter into a development partnership agreement and provide the following development services for the aforementioned sites:
Design and construct new homes, commercial space/community facilities and associated infrastructure including
