Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus - Student Accommodation Development Partner

Tender description

The University is seeking to procure an experienced student accommodation development partner for the commercial delivery of the University's new campus: the Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus ("TQEC") in the vicinity of Bristol Temple Meads railway station. The University intends to contract with the development partner pursuant to a strategic partnering agreement, which it anticipates in addition to the initial residences project, would grant an exclusive right in relation to a number of other projects within a prescribed area around TQEC. Additionally, given that the student numbers of the University are set to increase to c. 28,000 by 2024/25, the University anticipates that the strategic partnering agreement may also put in place a non-exclusive agreement to work as an on-going development partner for the future student accommodation and other building requirements to meet the University's growth requirements over an initial term of 5 years, but which may be extended by a further 5 years at the University's election. A supplier event will be held at the Engine Shed, Station Approach, Bristol BS1 6QH on Monday 11 December from 10am - 5pm. Prospective bidders are strongly encouraged to attend and must register to do so. The event will include a presentation from the University in the morning and the opportunity for individual sessions to ask questions in the afternoon.
