This tender is currently in the planning stage with an engagement end date set for 19th January 2024. The council is looking for interested parties with expertise in shopping centre management, particularly local knowledge of the area. The contract will be for a period of three years, and interested parties must confirm their interest by 14:00 on Friday 19th January 2024. This procurement process presents an opportunity for businesses specialised in property management services of real estate to expand their portfolio. Companies with experience in managing shopping centres and local knowledge of Southend-on-Sea would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The tender is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and offers the chance to work on a significant asset within the city, presenting growth potential for qualified businesses keen on expanding their service offerings. ## Notice Southend-on-Sea City Council (the Council) is seeking to engage with the market to appoint a property manager in relation to the Victoria Centre. The Council purchased the asset in December 2020 and the current management contract is about to expire. The Council would like to engage with potentially interested parties, who have the relevant experience and knowledge to take over the contract for a period of three years. The Victoria Centre extends to approximately 340,000 sq ft arranged over three floors together with an adjoining multi storey car park with 580 spaces. It is predominantly a shopping centre, albeit the Council is seeking to widen uses to incorporate further leisure and community uses. Rental income is in excess of PS2 million per annum and the 2023 service charge budget was also set at over PS2million. Current occupancy of the scheme is just over 80%. The Council is very aware that it requires a highly specialised service and accordingly interested parties will need to demonstrate excellent experience in the management of shopping centres as well of some local knowledge of the City. This is an extremely important asset and interested parties will need to demonstrate they have the resources to deal with the asset, especially in the current economic environment. The written confirmation of your company's interest in taking part in this Expression of Interest should be returned to the Council via an email to aleksandrahaker@southend.gov.uk Your company's response to confirm interest must be received by the Council before: 14:00 Friday 19th January 2024. If there is no interest expressed, the Council will use regulation 32 of the PCR (2015) to award a contract to the current provider for a maximum of 3 years. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/af7f2422-2793-41e5-bedd-4c8b9ca84ab5 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Jan 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 19 Jan 2024 | | 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 | SOUTHEND-ON-SEA BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | SOUTHEND-ON-SEA | | Post town | Southend-on-Sea | | Postcode | SS2 6EN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH3 Essex | | ITL 3 | TLH31 Southend-on-Sea | | Local authority | Southend-on-Sea | | Electoral ward | Victoria | | Westminster constituency | Southend East and Rochford | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 70 - Real estate services ### Codes - 70330000 - Property management services of real estate on a fee or contract basis ## Release History - 8 Jan 2024 at 09:15 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/af7f2422-2793-41e5-bedd-4c8b9ca84ab5 - 8 Jan 2024 at 08:59 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/af7f2422-2793-41e5-bedd-4c8b9ca84ab5 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/af7f2422-2793-41e5-bedd-4c8b9ca84ab5 8th January 2024 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/47735932-ba01-44fa-9125-bb719ba1afd5 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/aa4cc4b0-5011-44ae-bfd0-ec92fb2827d0 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
