Summary of the contracting process

North Lanarkshire Council has awarded a contract to Belgate Estates Limited for the property management of Cumbernauld Town Centre for the period of 2024-2025. This initiative aims to regenerate the town centre by transforming it from a transport corridor to a traditional high street, enhancing mobility and connectivity. Key locations include ‘The Centre Cumbernauld’ and ‘Cumbernauld Shopping Centre’. The procurement process is in the award stage, with the contract having been signed on 18th July 2024. The procurement method used was a limited procedure due to the need for continuity and specialised services, amounting to GBP 205,000.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in property management services, particularly those with experience in handling large-scale commercial properties. With over 150 leases in place within the shopping centres, firms adept at managing daily operations, maintenance, security, and rent collection will find this project beneficial. SMEs with a focus on service optimization, tenant management, and facility operations are well-suited to compete for future phases of this initiative, contributing to the overall redevelopment and enhancement of Cumbernauld Town Centre.

Notice Title

Cumbernauld Town Centre - Property Management 2024 - 2025

Notice Description

North Lanarkshire Council is looking to transform Cumbernauld by regenerating its town centre from a sterile transport corridor to a place where people can move freely, thereby integrating and connecting the developments on either side of Central Way to form a traditional high street for the first time in the town's development. To kick start this transformational change, the Council has acquired the two adjoined shopping centres occupying an extensive site in the middle of Cumbernauld town centre - 'The Centre Cumbernauld and Cumbernauld Shopping Centre' (known as 'The Centre Cumbernauld' (TCC)). Following the acquisition of TCC in June 2023, there was a requirement to have the facility managed and operated as efficiently as possible to maximise revenue and reduce overhead costs until existing leaseholds expire or can be ended, and vacant possession achieved prior to planned complete or phased demolition of the building. Upon acquisition of TCC, the Council novated two historic management contracts from the previous owner on a short-term basis up to 12 months to enable a smooth operating transition and to minimise disruption to existing tenants. These contracts are regarded as the "Asset Manager" and "Property Manager". These 12-month contracts have been reprocured for a period of 12 months, with an extension period of 3 months, to allow for the procurement of longer term management solution.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The Property Manager is concerned with the daily operation of the centre including staffing, maintenance, security, collection of rents, service charge etc. It demands and collects rental and service charges on behalf of the landlord together with any arrears that fall due. With over 150 leases in place, the benefits of retaining continuity in service are considerable to enable a smooth operation of the centre

Procurement Information

The services required are currently provided within Cumbernauld Town Centre by a private organisations to the Council. Following acquisition of Cumbernauld Town Centre, the Council felt at the time that it would be in a position to procure a longer term arrangement by the time the existing arrangement concludes on 30 June 2024. However, given the uniqueness of the services required, the amount of time and learning required to fully understand the service provision (amongst other operation issues) was underestimated and as a result the Council has not been able to procure a longer term arrangement. Only the existing providers currently have the requisite knowledge and expertise needed to provide the services short term and in the immediate manner required. Whilst a competitive procurement procedure could be undertaken for required services now, a number of risks were apparent whilst nay short term opportunity would not be appealing to the market. Accordingly, there is no reasonable alternative or substitute provider who could provide the services from the date that the council acquires the facility in order to minimise disruption and ensure a degree of continuity for the tenants in regard to communication, processes etc. Following award of the agreement within this Contract Award Notice, the longer-term solution will be developed and procured in accordance with the Public Contract (Scotland) Regulations 2015. At present it is the councils intention to approach the market in August 2024 via a Prior information Notice to conduct a market engagement exercise before commencing a procurement competition in October / November 2024. Accordingly, it is believed that this approach will enable a competition for requirements and be open to all economic operators within the market to tender for, thus ensuring the council maintains its procurement obligations and not narrowing down competition therefore satisfying the latter part of Regulation 33(1)(b).
