Notice Title

Development Partner for Phase 1 (with potential of future phases) of Granton Waterfront, Edinburgh

Notice Description

Located just three miles north of Edinburgh's city centre, Granton Waterfront has outstanding views across the Firth of Forth and sits in a 'necklace' of coastal communities from Cramond in the West to Portobello in the East. Over the next 10 - 15 years, this area will be transformed from former industrial land into a new coastal town for Scotland. The Council plan to deliver, through phased development: - around 3,500 new net zero carbon homes; with approximately 50% of these available for private development opportunities; - business start-up space and commercial opportunities; - creative arts, cultural and leisure spaces; - key services including a school and health centre; - Europe's largest coastal park; and - low carbon energy solution(s). The Council's phasing strategy, commencing with Phase 1, opens with the 'Heart of Granton' and embarks the Council and its future Development Partners on a journey of regeneration, with green credentials at the forefront of its objectives. This high-profile regeneration site offers a 'once in a lifetime' opportunity to work with the Council to create a new sustainable coastal town within Edinburgh's Waterfront. This unique opportunity to work with the Council initially over an 18-month period as part of a two stage Pre-Development contract has been devised as part of the Council's procurement strategy to reduce the burden of tendering as much as possible on Candidates and to encourage collaboration, innovation, risk apportionment, and partnership between the Council and the Development Partner.

Your team will be multi-disciplinary and consist of the Development Partner, full design team services, construction contractors and specialist expertise in areas such as sustainability and modern methods of construction. You will identify opportunities for working with the local community and Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs), creating new jobs and stimulating the local economy. You will support the Council with innovative solutions related to transport, infrastructure and funding with a primary focus on carbon reduction where possible. The gross development value for Phase 1 is projected at GBP170million - GBP190million, with the overall programme valued at GBP1.3billion.

The City of Edinburgh Council (the Council) will have a minimum standstill period of 10 days before awarding the contract. The communication of the award decision notice will be sent by fax or e-mail to all tenderers with the standstill period commencing on the next day. If proceedings are started in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session against the Council in respect of the decision to award the contract within the standstill period then the Council is prevented from awarding the contract. Post contract award the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session may (1) award damages provided proceedings are brought within 3 months from the date when the grounds for the bringing of the proceedings first arose (2) be entitled to issue an ineffectiveness order or impose a financial penalty on the Council. A claim for an ineffectiveness order must be made within 30 days of the Contract Award Notice being published in the FTS/OJEU or within 30 days of the date those who expressed an interest in or otherwise bid for the contract were informed of the conclusion of the contract or in any other case within 6 months from the date on which the contract was entered into."
