Summary of the contracting process

St Helens Council is inviting offers for the purchase of the freehold interest in approximately 0.82 hectares (2.03 acres) of land at Glover Street and Banner Street, St Helens. The opportunity concerns the disposal of development land rather than the delivery of a conventional construction contract, although the procurement is classified under construction work. Purchasers are expected to set out their proposed scheme for the site, including a layout, floor areas, elevations and intended use. The land is located in St Helens, within the St Helens borough area. This opportunity is therefore relevant to property developers, housebuilders, commercial developers, investors and other organisations able to acquire and develop freehold land in accordance with their proposed use.

The process has reached tender: St Helens Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Questions could be submitted until 12 noon on 4 September 2026, and offers had to be submitted electronically by 12 noon on 18 September 2026. Offers had to use the official Tender Offer Form and be uploaded through The Chest. The tender has one lot, with an estimated value of £400,000 excluding VAT (£480,000 including VAT). The stated contract period runs from 18 October 2026 to 17 December 2026. Proposals must include sufficient information about the scheme, including its layout, floor areas, elevations and proposed use. The Council is not required to accept the highest or any offer, and its decision is final.

This opportunity suits organisations with the financial capacity to purchase a freehold development site and the professional capability to prepare a credible scheme proposal. Strong candidates are likely to include property developers, housebuilders, commercial or mixed-use development companies, investors working with planning and design teams, and land-led regeneration specialists. Bidders need to produce plans and drawings showing the proposed layout, floor areas, elevations and intended use, so architectural, planning and development expertise will be important. The submission must be made on the Council’s prescribed form and through the required electronic procurement system; registration and approval on that system are needed before the opportunity can be accessed for submission. Prospective purchasers should also be prepared to meet their own costs for preparing tender plans and drawings.
