## Summary

West Sussex County Council is currently in the award stage of a public procurement process for the "Horsham Enterprise Park - Development Partner Procurement," aimed at redeveloping a 7.5 ha site in Horsham. The tender, classified under the CPV code for building construction work, has an awarded contract to Muse Developments Ltd, valued at £190 million. The contract period commenced on 1st March 2021 and will conclude on 28th February 2026. Key objectives include delivering residential developments, commercial space, and job creation, with a strong emphasis on sustainability and public transport accessibility.

This procurement opportunity presents significant growth potential for large construction and development firms, particularly those with expertise in residential and commercial real estate projects. Companies experienced in managing complex redevelopment initiatives and possessing strong sustainability credentials would be well-suited to engage with similar future tenders. As the project aims to revitalise a pivotal employment site, there may also be ancillary opportunities for suppliers in construction management, architectural services, and facilities management.

## Notice

Horsham Enterprise Park West Sussex County Council ("the Council") purchased the 7.5 ha former Novartis Pharmaceuticals site in Horsham in December 2016. The site originally comprised a range of offices, laboratories and workshops as part of Novartis' operations. It is now vacant and most of the buildings have been demolished. Four buildings have been retained. These include two gate house buildings and a 1930s Art Deco style building and its extensions (Buildings 3 and 36) that were used for offices. The central structure is locally listed, and it is assumed it will be retained. The key driver for the Council's acquisition is to build on the site's long-established position as a major employment generator. As such, the Council is committed to ensuring the site makes a significant contribution to creating and supporting jobs and contributing to the West Sussex economy. In 2020 the Council secured outline planning permission for the redevelopment of the site for up to 300 dwellings (C3) including the conversion of Buildings 3 and 36 and up to 25,000 sq.m of employment space (B1), together with the provision of 618 sq.m of flexible commercial/community space (A1, A2, A3 and D1 Creche) within the ground floor of converted Building 36. The Council is now seeking a partner or consortium to deliver the scheme to a high standard and achieve its key objectives of creating new job opportunities, homes and improved local infrastructure. It is envisaged the scheme will have strong sustainable credentials and encourage use of public transport in an attractive environment that retains existing mature trees. The proposed structure of the transaction will allow the partner to deliver the initial phase of residential development immediately and draw down commercial phases either speculatively or when suitable occupiers are secured. Interested parties should refer to Savills' marketing brochure and the project dataroom for further details.
