Technical requirements: Clanmil Developments — Provision of Site, Design and Build Social Housing Scheme — Carrickfergus and Surrounding Area.
The Project is for the provision of land for Design and Build Carrickfergus and surrounding area, Northern Ireland. Participants must provide the land, design, construct and ensure completion of the scheme for Clanmil in accordance with the DSD Housing Association Guide; Clients Requirements and Statutory Body Requirements.
Clanmil requires potential Developers to put forward schemes which offer a high quality development and which broadly accord with the housing mix specified by Clanmil in the MOI
In the interest of providing an efficient housing management service, Clanmil will not generally consider sites which provide less than 10 units. Clanmil values good working relationships with Developers and recognises that collaboration will be required in order to successfully deliver this Project (including finalisation of design and obtaining the necessary approvals from Clanmil, the NI planning service as well as overall funding approval from the Department of Social Development).
Clanmil will conduct the procurement using the Open Procedure. A key requirement of the Selection stage is the suitability of the site for social housing. Participants must be able to demonstrate that they either (i) own the site and can provide clear non-encumbered title to Clanmil; or (ii) have an exclusive contract to unconditionally purchase clear non-encumbered title to Clanmil. Following submission of Responses, Clanmil will liaise with the NIHE to ascertain whether it would, in principle, be willing to support particular Projects.
Clanmil intends to enter into a framework agreement with the most economically advantageous Developer(s). Developers may be called of the framework based on the MEAT Rank. Clanmil may enter into a conditional land sale agreement, These agreements will become unconditional upon design approval, planning approval and confirmation of Clanmil securing support from the Department of Social Development. Clanmil and the Developer(s) will be required to act collaboratively to ensure these conditions can be satisfied.
Clanmil will only consider those Responses relating to Projects which NIHE has agreed, in principle, to support.
Any concerns in relation to the support of potential sites should be directed to procurement@clanmil.org.uk who will assist tenderers in relation to the NIHE requirements.
As above, this Project is for the area of Carrickfergus and surrounding area and the provision of Land, Design and Build.
Clanmil reserves the right to enter into conditional contracts (potentially on a phased basis) with 1 or more Developers. The number of projects will depend upon the availability of support from the Department for Social Development.
Clanmil encourages Developers to propose schemes which will deliver at least 10 units. Clanmil does not intend to set an upper limit on the number of units which can be delivered under any individual scheme, however acceptance will be linked to affordability and the availability of support. On this basis, it is difficult for Clanmil to estimate the value of this potential opportunity. The estimate below is intended to reflect this uncertainty and whilst the range will be appropriate for certain schemes, Clanmil recognises that it may not be appropriate for all schemes.
