Notice Title
Upper Chapel Launceston
Notice Description
Appointment of Lovvells for the delivery of 100 units, incorporating full design, construction, and completion of dwellings and associated infrastructure.
Procurement Information
PCH has been approached by Lovells with this opportunity and has introduced the proposal directly. No alternative suppliers are able to deliver the same development on this specific landholding. Consequently, a competitive procurement exercise is not considered appropriate. PCH considers that progressing discussions with Lovells represents the most efficient and proportionate approach, given the unique nature of the land ownership and the opportunity presented. This notice is published in the interests of transparency and to demonstrate that PCH has considered its obligations in relation to procurement regulations.
