## Summary

Salford City Council is procuring a private sector partner (PSP) for the Salford Crescent and University District Development, a significant construction project with an estimated value of £2.5 billion. The procurement method is selective, based on a competitive dialogue, and the contract period is set from 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2035, with an option to extend for an additional five years. The tender period ended on 3 April 2020, with the project located in the North West of the United Kingdom, encompassing five zones within a 100-hectare area. The overall objective is to deliver approximately 2,500 residential units and 1 million square feet of business space as part of the development masterplan.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for construction firms, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to engage in a long-term partnership focusing on urban development. Businesses that specialise in construction, civil engineering, and urban planning would be well-equipped to compete for this contract, contributing to the transformation of the Salford Crescent area. The combination of residential and commercial developments is expected to stimulate economic growth and generate further business opportunities throughout the project duration.
