Peddimore is allocated within the Birmingham Development Plan for development within Use Classes B1 B2 and B8. BCC owns majority of the site within the allocation and is seeking to appoint a developer who will be responsible for masterplanning a proportion of the site which will be referred to as ‘Phase 1’, including pursuing and obtaining a planning consent, installing infrastructure, services and carrying out development. BCC may also appoint the selected developer to undertake development of a further part of the site referred as ‘Phase 2’. However bidders should note that there is no guarantee that the selected developer will be required to undertake the development of Phase 2. Phase 2 is the development of the site which sits adjacent to Phase 1. The entire site has been masterplanned by the Council and the preferred illustrative masterplan is included in the procurement pack available via the intend portal. The plan shows total of 13 units (A-N), this is envisaged to split into the above-mentioned 2 phases. (Phase 1 is anticipated to extend to an area occupied by units A-H as labelled on the masterplan). Phase 2 is anticipated to extend to the area occupied by units J-N (again, as labelled on the masterplan). The indicative gross development value in respect of each Phase is: 150 000 000 GBP in respect of Phase 1, and 135 000 000 GBP in respect of Phase 2.
Whilst not guaranteed, BCC anticipates that it may require the tenderer which is identified as the most economically advantageous tenderer following this procurement process, to undertake the Phase 2 works. However, tenderers are asked to note that there is no guarantee that BCC will ultimately adopt this approach. BCC will, however, endeavour to update the appointed developer at regular intervals, to provide clarity in respect of how BCC intends to proceed with Phase 2.
It is an anticipated that the build programme will be for a duration of 5 years, however Birmingham City Council reserves the right to agree a build programme which is less than this.
