Breckland Council (the Council) is seeking a private sector partner (PSP) to help deliver the Council"s strategic aims and objectives for regeneration (the Council"s strategic regeneration objectives) referred to in the accompanying memorandum of information which is available to download from the In-Tend e-tendering portal. The opportunity is a major regeneration and development project to deliver new (or improvements to) housing and residential accommodation; office and business developments; retail and leisure developments, hotel developments; car parking; infrastructure; community facilities; and public spaces (and incidental or related works to these developments and associated public infrastructure). As part of this project the Council is seeking a partner to deliver, among other schemes, a mixed-use development known as Riverside in Thetford. This project is considered strategically important to the Council in catalysing the regeneration of Thetford town centre and should be prioritised for delivery. Specific details of this scheme are set out in the memorandum of information.
In order to deliver certain aspects of the Council"s Strategic Regeneration Objectives, a corporate joint venture (expected to be a Local Asset Backed Vehicle) (the LABV) will be established for a term of approximately 15 years (with the option to extend up to a further 5 years). The Council and the successful PSP will each invest in and hold a 50% interest in the delivery vehicle. The value of the Council"s interest is expected to be based on the value of the assets it commits to the LABV and it is expected that the PSP will invest by including cash, assets, services or other approaches to financing and share returns from the developments and services with the Council. The opportunity will focus on the development of a number of key sites in Breckland (A Sites). The details of A Sites and anticipated development phases where known, are provided in the memorandum of information. The PSP (through the LABV) may also be given the opportunity to develop other sites (B Sites) to further the Council"s wider strategic regeneration objectives to deliver projects that will provide new commercial floor space, affordable homes and homes for sale and new and refurbished employment floor space. The Council is seeking a partner that will optimise the potential of each site within the context of the planned growth of the area, the planned and committed investment in infrastructure (such as the dualing of the A11) and the changing habits of business and communities during the life of the LABV. Further details of these sites are also provided in the memorandum of information.
The LABV will undertake development activity and provide services to the Council in line with the Council"s key objectives. These services may include, but not be limited to, master planning; strategic development consultancy advice; environmental consultancy advice; technical and building services; architectural design; urban design and landscaping; physical construction and development; refurbishment of assets, infrastructure; marketing and disposal of development assets; incidental generation, sale and distribution of energy and potentially land assembly. Further details are contained in the memorandum of information. The LABV may consider it appropriate for a third party partner to take an investment stake in a specific development. It is not envisaged that this would change the amount of Council and PSP equity or the proportions in which equity is held (50/50) in the LABV, but that the LABV may share the profits and/or equity in the relevant development subsidiary (and any returns made from the developments) with the third party partner on a site specific basis, as agreed between the LABV and the third party partner.
In summary the co-investor partner will be required to;
- Work closely with the Council as co-investors to plan and deliver the development and regeneration of the identified sites throughout the lifetime of the LABV based on a series of 5 year delivery plans.
- Commit to delivering a range of residential and employment sites within the initial 5 year LABV delivery plan of which the Riverside site in Thetford is a priority scheme.
- Take advantage of strengthening market conditions to deliver individual projects and seek to create a balance of housing, commercial and employment uses as well as recognising the importance of balancing investment across the 5 towns and outlying locations.
This contract notice should be read in conjunction with the accompanying memorandum of information, which provides further detail to interested parties on the context of the offer being made by the Council and what the Council expects to achieve.
