Notice Description

Lot Information

Lot 1

The Supplier will support departments across the Authority in appraising, planning and delivering their capital projects outlined in the Place Shaping programme. This support will range from informal advice through to land/development appraisals, contractual negotiations, site investigation works and project management. A major element of CCBC's Place Shaping programme is the Caerphilly Homes Development & Governance Strategy being delivered by Caerphilly Homes (the Housing Services division of CCBC). This programme aims to increase the number of homes within CCBC's housing stock portfolio to meet an ever-increasing need, with a current aspiration of 100 new affordable, low carbon, high quality homes being built each year. To assist the Authority in delivering the Place Shaping programme and Caerphilly Homes Development programme, the Supplier will work with the Authority to maximise the availability of resources and effectively manage risk to create a sustainable forward work programme. This will involve developing a clear understanding of the Authority's assets (such as land, buildings and infrastructure) and their development potential, along with providing multi-disciplinary development support to progress viable sites and/or projects.

Renewal: The Authority intends to establish a Framework Agreement for a period of two years with the option to extend for a further period of up to two years at intervals to be agreed by the Authority.
