Tender information last checkedLast checked 26 Sept 2026, 07:41.

Opportunity overview

The Council is seeking a development partner with the relevant experience, capability and resources to deliver a high quality, residential-led development at the Site. The Council proposes to enter into a partnering arrangement with the successful Potential Supplier that aligns the parties’ goals, apportions risk appropriately, and provides a clear and transparent mechanism for the delivery of the Project. It is currently envisaged that this arrangement will be structured as a Development Agreement, supported by Heads of Terms to be issued during the Dialogue Stage. The Development Agreement is expected to be conditional on the agreement of an overall Business Plan, to be derived from the Final Tender Submission, and supported by a detailed masterplan and delivery strategy. The Council will be undertaking this procurement process using the Competitive Flexible Procedure in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023, allowing for structured dialogue with shortlisted Potential Suppliers prior to the submission of Final Tenders. The Council is committed to a collaborative and transparent process that encourages innovation and quality within a commercially viable framework.
