UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council, a public authority operating at a sub-central government level, recently conducted a procurement process to find a development partner for the redevelopment of Crompton Place in Bolton. This initiative is part of a selective procurement method using a competitive flexible procedure, culminating in the award stage as of January 20, 2026. The development is set in the North West of England within the UKD3 region, focusing on construction work, and represents a significant opportunity valued at approximately £240 million. The contract for the awarded work is scheduled to begin on April 30, 2026, and extend over 15 years with a potential five-year extension. URBAN SPLASH DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED and FEDERATED HERMES LIMITED were among the tenderers, with the latter being the preferred supplier after the competitive bidding process.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in construction, land development, and urban regeneration. It is particularly ideal for companies with experience in mixed-use development projects and the capacity to engage in long-term, large-scale contracts. The ambitious framework and the phased delivery approach put forth by Bolton Council encourage innovation and partnership, making it a lucrative opportunity for well-established construction firms and SMEs looking to expand their portfolio in urban development. Moreover, due to its scale, the project welcomes businesses capable of handling complex development agreements and collaboration in a public-private partnership model. The involvement in such a significant redevelopment project contributes not only to the business's growth but also provides a platform to influence the future infrastructure of a prominent town centre.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Crompton Place - Development Partner Procurement

Notice Description

Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council (the "Council") invite expressions of interest from suitably qualified and experienced suppliers in relation to entering into an agreement with the Council (the "Contract") to become the Council's Development Partner for the redevelopment of Crompton Place, Bolton. Crompton Place represents an unrivalled opportunity to develop a high quality, residential-led mixed-use scheme at the historic heart of Bolton - the UK's largest and officially happiest town. The site is one of the largest single ownerships opportunities to come to the market in many years. The Council is doing things differently and de-risking the delivery of a key town centre location, allowing ambitious developers to shape the future of the Town Centre. For the avoidance of doubt, the Council is seeking to appoint a master developer partner to develop the Council's Land, via a Master Development Agreement (MDA). This will allow the parties to form a contractual joint venture approach addressing meanwhile uses and phased delivery. The MDA will provide the usual mechanisms to address the working up of the scheme designs, planning, funding and other conditional delivery items. The initial scope for the MDA will be the Council's Land as defined by the red line boundary in the Information Memorandum. Any future additional development of Additional Council Land or Third Party Land, will be agreed between the parties and is not guaranteed as part of this procurement.
