Description

Please see the specification documentation (Annex A, comprising: A.1 - Housing Management Specification; and A.2 - Project Brief) for a description of the requirements. It must be underlined, that the Authority is not seeking a concept, design, drawings etc. for the purpose of this tender exercise; rather, it is seeking to discern a partner with whom the Authority can collaborate - post-award - to develop and design the project (and then subsequently manage the building). The Preferred Bidder will exclusively fund the development and ongoing housing management requirements. Bidders must be a Housing Association in accordance with the 1985 Housing Act, chapter 69 Part 1, and provide a 'housing management service in accordance with the 'managed properties' category as referred within the Housing Benefit Regulations 2006 No 213, Part 8A, Regulations 75H, and in accordance with the 'managed properties' category under the Housing Benefit Circular HB A8/2014. Any queries pertaining to this must be directed to the Authority by way of clarification questions. The Authority shall be awarding a lease under this procurement process (250 years) and is not relying, at this juncture, on the exemptions carved out in the Procurement Act 2023 (specifically Schedule 2, Part 2, Section (8)(1)). Please see the documentation for a breakdown of the anticipated financial value.

Renewal Options

The Authority reserves the right to introduce funding that is required to compensate for any disparity between the amount claimed and received in respect of housing benefit applications. However, the Authority does not anticipate this being routinely utilised as the Authority, including its revenues and benefits team, will be a key stakeholder in the design process. The Authority may, from time to time, be in receipt of funding, external (e.g. grant funding) or internal, that could be used to enhance the building or ongoing Services provided by the Bidder. The Authority reserves the right to utilise this funding to benefit the Services (including pre- and post-construction of the building). Without prejudice to the Authority's broader rights under the Procurement Act 2023, the Authority makes the above statements in reliance on s.74 and Sch.8(1) of the Procurement Act 2023.
