This project is at the tender stage, with submissions due by 18th February 2021. The procurement follows a restricted procedure and has an estimated value of £5,000,000, with a minimum land receipt requirement set by the contracting authority. This initiative is part of a larger, ambitious programme to regenerate a 24-acre site previously used for coal mining and brewing, which aims to deliver a total of 440 residential units. The contract period is expected to commence from 4th June 2021 and extend until 31st May 2029. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses experienced in urban development and residential construction, particularly those with a proven track record in delivering high-quality housing. Companies capable of meeting the intricate requirements outlined for the Helix Residential Site would be well-suited to compete, potentially contributing to a transformative project in a key urban location. The scale of this development offers avenues for growth not just to construction contractors, but also to suppliers of building materials, design consultants, and other associated services, making it a promising opportunity for diverse sectors within the construction industry. ## Notice The University is letting this contract on behalf of Newcastle Science Central Management LLP. The scope is for the sale of the land (through a procurement regulation compliant restricted procedure) to a Contractor with the relevant experience, capability and resources to invest in and deliver development, construction, and sale of homes to final occupation on the Helix Residential Site in accordance with the LLP's objectives and requirements. Newcastle Helix (formerly known as Science Central) is a site of national and international significance. Regeneration of a prime City Centre site at this scale is a once in a generation opportunity. The LLP's vision is big. A 24-acre quarter in the centre of Newcastle upon Tyne. A PS350M programme of residential, commercial and academic capital development on a site previously used for coal mining and brewing. The LLP's vision is clear: To help everybody live easier, healthier, longer and smarter lives. Now and in the future. There is 6 residential plots for development to bring forward the new community for the site, comprising plots 12 through to 17 and representing approximately 5.5 acres of the overall site. There is a Homes England requirement to achieve a minimum of 440 residential units on the site. A planning consent for 66 units, which would contribute to the requirement has been secured by Karbon Homes in respect of plot 7 (not included in this opportunity). The LLP expects the highest standard of housing to come forward, taking inspiration from places like the Sterling Prize winning Goldsmith Street in Norwich. A minimum land receipt of PS5,000,000 (five million pounds sterling) must be paid to the LLP.
