SECTION II: OBJECT OF THE CONTRACT
II.1) DESCRIPTION
II.1.1) Title attributed to the contract by the contracting authority:
Developer Framework for Sandwell MBC - including specialist accommodation,
large mixed tenure developments, community buildings and community
regeneration programmes.
II.1.2) Type of contract and location of works, place of delivery or of
performance: Works.
Realisation, by whatever means of work, corresponding to the requirements
specified by the contracting authorities.
Main site or location of works: Within the Borough of Sandwell.
NUTS code: UKG34.
II.1.3) The notice involves: A public contract.
II.1.5) Short description of the contract or purchase(s): Sandwell MBC is
entering a new and exciting phase of development.
The new Developer Framework will be more efficient and will offer longer
term commitment to partners for their investment and to Sandwell MBC. It
will offer economy of scale for all developers and added value. Operating
at the strategic and operational level, the Framework will ensure maximum
support to the Housing Strategy and Local Investment Plan agreed with the
Housing & Communities Agency. Partners will be able to work on the large
scale redevelopment plans for the borough, for example in West Bromwich
and Smethwick. Partners will work with and support the ambitions of the
Sandwell Partnership, bringing in their own dedicated resources, as well
as working with other registered partners and developers to maximise
investment potential and seeking new and innovative funding models, such
as PFI or Community Stewardship. Our agenda is transformational and
ambitious; we are looking to produce UK exemplar schemes. We have to
fulfil the requirements of the Housing Needs and Demands Study, developing
through a variety of methods and delivering approximately 700 new homes
per annum and delivering the Local Area Agreement targets for 2012 and
thereafter.
As the first phase, after completing an extensive public sector demolition
programme and undertaking neighbourhood plans on three estates and a
master plan in the Smethwick area, Sandwell MBC is now seeking to appoint
a range of partners to assist with the redevelopment and regeneration of
the cleared sites and make a positive contribution to the borough and its
residents.
Based on the views of the community obtained during various consultations,
the partnership will deliver all types of building, from specialist
accommodation to large mixed tenure developments and community buildings
and community regeneration programmes. For some schemes, partners will be
expected to provide services; this will be in specialist accommodation,
such as extra care or a complex needs housing scheme.
It is intended to appoint up to 6 registered partners with Homes &
Communities Agency investment status and a maximum of 4 smaller, local,
specialist partners, with or without investment status. It is therefore
important to us that you specify whether or not you wish to be considered
as a small / specialist provider or a large/volume developer and provide a
family tree of your proposed consortium arrangement.
Once appointed, successful partners will be chosen to undertake a project
in line with their specialism, capacity and other criteria.
Sustainability is important to us and Sandwell MBC is aspiring, where
possible, to be zero carbon by 2016 for all new projects. Our ambition is
to reach the following codes as shown:
— By 2010 - code 4 (+ 25 % efficiency),
— By 2013 - code 5 (+44 % efficiency),
— By 2016 - code 6 - zero carbon.
All large schemes and projects will be reviewed by CABE/MADE to ensure the
design is sustainable. In addition, you will need to show that you
understand and build to Lifetime Homes and Neighbourhoods criteria, using
Building for Life Standards and Modern Methods of Construction.
Successful applicants must be willing to work with the Council and a range
of associated partners and actively assist the Council in its agenda of
community cohesion and its 2020 vision.
The Sandwell of 2020 will be a thriving, sustainable, optimistic and
forward looking community.
We want Sandwell to be associated with success:
— High achievement in education,
— Good health,
— A strong Economy,
— Good housing and transport,
— A harmonious place of opportunity,
— A good quality of life.
The Housing Strategy is available on the Sandwell MBC website.
Please only apply if your organisation/consortium is able to undertake all
aspects of this contract.
