Technical requirements: A design and build contract for the Ebury Bridge Regeneration Programme. This will include working collaboratively with Westminster City Council, resident and additional stakeholder groups to successfully deliver the programme. The value is thresholded between 97 000 000 GBP and up to approx 350 000 000 GBP for multiple phases of the programme.
Westminster City Council is committed to the most ambitious house building programme for a generation. The Council is on track to deliver 1 850 new affordable homes by 2023 with sites for a further potential 2 000 new homes identified. The delivery of these homes involves complex regeneration schemes at Ebury Bridge Estate and Church Street, as well as sensitive infill and prominent high profile sites across the city. The delivery of these homes will depend on a range of delivery solutions including partnerships with development and investment partners and self-delivery. Westminster’s newly formed wholly owned development company also offers a route for funding, delivering and owning new intermediate rent, market rent and sale housing across the borough.
The Ebury Bridge Estate renewal project is the most strategically important of all these developments. Ebury is located in the South-West of the borough, close to Victoria Station. Railway tracks to Victoria act as a physical barrier to the East of the estate and the Belgravia neighbourhood is to the West. The estate has excellent connectivity and offers a tremendous opportunity for a prestigious, exemplar estate renewal opportunity in Central London.
The Council has made significant investment over recent years developing a high quality, exciting scheme in consultation with local residents and approved the full demolition and re-provision of the estate in July 2018. The Council has established an experienced team and in March 2019 committed to and approved to self-deliver an initial phase comprising over 200 new, mixed tenure homes and the first of the new open public squares, setting the design quality and delivery intentions for the new Ebury. This initial phase will enable the Council to fulfil their re-housing commitments locally and achieve vacant possession of later phases. Ebury sits at the heart of the Council’s City for all intentions and we are now seeking suitable partners to help us deliver and achieve these aspirations.
This Prior Information Notice is to provide advance information to the market in anticipation of the formal tender being made live during the month of May 2019. Westminster City Council will be seeking a design and build partner to deliver the programme which is currently phased, with Phase 1 aiming to start on site end 2020.
