The project is looking to accommodate over 50 new residences with a capital budget of approximately £7.5 million available for investment. Developers must submit their views on a market engagement exercise by the engagement end date of 23rd February 2018. The project's industry categorisation includes site development and urban construction. This tender presents significant opportunities for construction and property development companies, particularly those with expertise in residential building and social housing projects. Businesses that can demonstrate an understanding of local housing needs and are capable of delivering a mix of affordable and market housing will find this project particularly suited to their competencies. Those interested should engage with Daventry District Council to leverage the backing and potential funding solutions offered by the Council while ensuring compliance with stipulated quality standards. ## Notice THIS IS NOT A PROCUREMENT EXERCISE AT THIS STAGE. Daventry District Council (DDC) is looking to carry out a market engagement exercise with potential developers. The Council is seeking views from developers in relation to further developing an understanding of the how to proceed with the potential design, construction, marketing and sale of 50+ new homes on land owned by DCC, known as Site 8 East at Middlemore, Daventry. Developers are asked to consider a number of questions set out on the attachment and let DDC know their views. As well as providing a prime residential development site, DDC has a capital budget of approximately PS7.5million it can invest into this potential development. This does not preclude a potential development partner from adding its own capital to this budget. DDC is expecting a cash return on its investment as opposed to physical assets. The return DDC receives is intended to represent a fair share of the overall profit arising from developing the site taking into account costs, sales and land value. This Market Engagement Exercise is seeking views on how this arrangement, including the financial aspects, may best work. DDC is looking for a potential development partner, in order to capitalise on the experience and knowledge of the private house building sector that it could bring to this project. In return DDC will offer an alternative funding source to any other that an established housing building company may currently draw upon. With housing sites becoming harder to secure it is also offering an allocated housing site on a very attractive housing estate on the edge of Daventry. Feasibility work has been undertaken on this site which has reviewed planning and site information, indicating that there are no major obstacles to its potential development. A capacity study undertaken indicates that it is possible to accommodate on the site a scheme of 50+ units (based on around 35 units per hectare) of mixed sizes and type of units, ranging from 1 bed flats through to 5 bed detached houses. It will be the responsibility of the developer to propose what is thought to be the most appropriate mix for this site taking into account local housing needs and demands and the requirement to deliver a minimum return on DDC's investment, within a set timescale. However there will be some quality standards too that the developer will be asked to comply with, as set out below. Of the 50+ units to be built, 25% of the units will be affordable and made available to a registered provider, to be selected by the developer but agreed with DDC. The remaining units will be designed, built, marketed and sold by the developer. Additional information: Potential tenderers are asked to consider the attached questionnaire and to let DDC have its views on how best to take this procurement forward. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4c78dfed-fab6-491a-8e48-1af7dbca5f06 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Dec 2016 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 23 Feb 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DAVENTRY DISTRICT COUNCIL | | Locality | DAVENTRY | | Post town | Northampton | | Postcode | NN11 4FP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF24 West Northamptonshire | | Local authority | West Northamptonshire | | Electoral ward | Daventry East | | Westminster constituency | Daventry | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work - 70 - Real estate services ### Codes - 45111291 - Site-development work - 45211360 - Urban development construction work - 45215210 - Construction work for subsidised residential accommodation - 45215214 - Residential homes construction work - 70110000 - Development services of real estate - 70123100 - Sale of residential real estate - 70331000 - Residential property services ## Release History - 20 Dec 2016 at 13:42 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4c78dfed-fab6-491a-8e48-1af7dbca5f06 - 14 Dec 2016 at 10:19 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4c78dfed-fab6-491a-8e48-1af7dbca5f06 - 12 Dec 2016 at 12:18 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4c78dfed-fab6-491a-8e48-1af7dbca5f06 - 12 Dec 2016 at 12:13 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4c78dfed-fab6-491a-8e48-1af7dbca5f06 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4c78dfed-fab6-491a-8e48-1af7dbca5f06 20th December 2016 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c9c03e13-f992-4d26-9030-3e17d2b999a4 Early Market Engagement Information and Quesionnaire - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/3f04f2ab-34e7-41a2-b01d-07ce48fbcca8 Early Market Engagement Information and Quesionnaire - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/bc814201-3f6e-49db-93e7-2ac7cb08107a Early Market Engagement Information and Questionnaire ## Notice URLs - http://www.daventrydc.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
