Description

This programme extends the scope of the existing Cambridge Road Estate Regeneration Programme of works by including a programme of designing and building out a number of small sites in the ownership of the Royal Borough of Kingston Upon Thames (‘Council’), which will provide affordable homes and facilitate the Cambridge Road Estate regeneration through the provision of decant accommodation. The Council used a competitive dialogue procedure consisting of 3 stages (selection, Invitation to take part in dialogue (ITPD) and Invitation to submit final tenders (ITSF)) to award a contract to enter into a 50-50 Joint Venture with the Council in order to progress the Cambridge Road Estate Regeneration Programme of works. The contract is for a major regeneration and development Project to regenerate the 8,6 hectare Cambridge Road Estate and deliver over 2 000 new mixed-tenure homes including replacement homes for the current residents over a 10-15 year period. The contract value is for circa 800 000 000 GBP. The Council and the selected joint venture partner, Countryside Properties (UK) Ltd entered into a completion agreement on 25.6.2019 to allocate responsibility for various work streams and costs in preparing for the ballot of residents on the estate. The completion agreement confirms that if there is a successful ballot result, the main project documents will be completed in the forms attached to the completion agreement. One of the work streams set out in the completion agreement is to work up the most appropriate strategy for the delivery of new homes on various additional sites in the vicinity of the site which are to be Used for decant for existing residents on the estate. The Council now proposes to extend the scope of this work stream under the completion agreement to appoint Countryside Properties (UK) Ltd to deliver works and services to facilitate the delivery of circa 160 homes across up to 17 sites for a value of circa 40 000 000 GBP.
