## Summary

The University of Southampton has awarded a contract for Financial Advisory Services to support the Design, Build, Finance, and Operate Partner Procurement. The contract, valued at £250,000 GBP, involves a partnership arrangement with a developer/investor/operator for the development of approximately 2,300 existing beds and 2,500 new beds on the university's sites in Southampton. The procurement method used was selective, following a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period is set to run from 1st March 2024 to 28th February 2027.

This tender by the University of Southampton presents an opportunity for businesses offering financial consultancy services to participate in a strategic partnership for a major programme of work. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The University is actively seeking a partner to provide financial advisory services throughout the procurement process, sharing risks and rewards in the development and operation of new student accommodation facilities.

## Notice

The Residences Strategic Major Programme of work has identified the need for up to 9,000 beds to meet our current size and shape ambitions by 2031/32 and is actively exploring all options to increase bed numbers as quickly as possible during that period. We are taking a blended approach to delivering these beds whereby a proportion of the development is delivered on UoS sites. We have identified that circa. 2400 beds could be delivered on the UoS estate but are not in a position to undertake direct development of most of these beds. We are looking to agree a partnership with a developer / investor / operator who we would transfer stock to that they would operate whilst building new stock on areas of UoS sites that we have identified. It is anticipated that a stock transfer of around 2,300 beds and development of around 2,500 beds are in scope. The partner would be responsible for planning & development. Risk and reward is shared by the partnership. This procurement seeks to secure financial advisory services to advise the University from the strategic phase of setting out the proposal structure and throughout the procurement of the partner.
