Site-development work

Tender description

Involves the identification of sites, obtaining statutory consents and construction of properties to be owned by Clyde Valley Housing Association. Clyde Valley Housing Association (CVHA) was established in April 1996 and is a Registered Social Landlord. From its operational headquarters based in Motherwell, CVHA currently owns and manages circa 3,600 properties across North and South Lanarkshire and East Dubartonshire Council. With the current new supply programme and funding this will increase to 4 600 properties. Since 1998 CVHA have invested in excess of 270 000 000 GBP in capital projects. We have strong aspirations to increase our stock and are looking for developer / contractors that have sites identified, ideally under legal control or ownership and who could obtain all necessary consents then build out to completion. Our current area of operation covers North Lanarkshire, South Lanarkshire and East Dunbartonshire serving customers in all major conurbations. The purpose of this Notice is to identify future new supply sites or refurbishment opportunities and partners to deliver the build out. CVHA will not determine the sites which are to be built out. After an initial assessment CVHA will use the returns from this process to submit information to the respective Councils for their SHIP process. It is the intention of CVHA that if sites are included in the SHIP documents, Grant funding is made available and CVHA have the requisite private finance available, that a Design and Build contract would be entered into. All parties should be aware that if a site is selected by CVHA as a result of this process it is not guaranteed that CVHA will enter into a Design and Build Contract. The criteria used to assess the submissions will be based around the following: — location of proposed site in relation to the relevant Councils’ strategic priorities, — amenity of the proposed site(s), — the density of the proposed site(s), — proposed property types, — planning status of the proposed Site(s), — statement regarding Site Investigation(s), — statement regarding Scottish Water Capacity, — statement regarding Ecological issues related to the site(s), — statement regarding delivery within Scottish Government 3 person benchmark figures, — legal position regarding the control of the site(s), — track record of the developer / contractor for delivering affordable new build properties.
