Under terms and conditions of this tri-party conditional contract for the sale of freehold land with the Council and the Developer, the Council shall sell the land to Aspire for residential development on the land. Main conditions of this sale are (a) the Council shall complete infrastructure works and a golden brick level shall be reached prior to transfer (b) Aspire shall enter into a development agreement with the Developer to complete the residential development, including design and construction of 43 affordable homes. Funding is being received for infrastructure works for this project by the Council from Homes England Brownfield, Infrastructure and Land Grant Fund.
Procurement Information
The award is permitted using the negotiated procedure without a notice on technical grounds on the basis of Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The direct award without prior publication justification applies because: (a) the Council is prepared to sell the land only as part of arrangements that also includes completion of the residential development; (b) Aspire has significant unmet need in the locality of the development, evidenced through long housing waiting lists and (c) there is no sufficient other land on the market which is available for affordable housing development within reasonable timeframes local to fulfil the unmet demand of affordable housing.
