This project, categorized under construction work, is set in Bury St Edmunds (IP32 6RW) and is currently in the tender stage. The deadline for tender submissions is 12 noon on 9th August 2018, with a requirement for a payment of £1.15 million for the site. The tender will follow an open procurement method and the successful bidder will be required to fulfill a section 106 agreement relating to housing development and community facilities. This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses involved in construction, real estate development, and community services. Companies that can manage residential building projects and integrate community services will be particularly well-suited to compete, especially those with experience navigating planning consents and local authority requirements. As the site includes the former Howard Primary School and community facilities, businesses capable of relocation and redevelopment may significantly benefit from this opportunity. ## Notice Return Deadline is 17:00 hours on 9th August 2018. Suffolk County Council and St Edmundsbury Borough Council (the procuring authorities) are inviting tenders for the disposal of two sites at St Olaves Road, Bury St Edmunds IP32 6RW.

A location plan, site plan and ownership plan are included as appendices to this document. An outline planning consent for the housing and new centre has received resolution to grant. A section106 agreement is in place in draft which the successful bidder will be required to agree. Bidders are invited to tender on the basis that Suffolk County Council require a payment of PS1.15m for site with the remainder of the consideration to be directed towards the new community centre.
