## Summary

The procurement process involves Torbay Council seeking to sell approximately 18.42 hectares of residential development land located at Little Blagdon Farm, south of Totnes Road, Collaton St Mary. This opportunity falls within the construction industry and is currently at the award stage, following the completion of the tender on 5th February 2021. The sale includes the requirement to deliver 30% of the proposed scheme as affordable housing and offers access to Land Release Fund grant funds totaling £850,000 for infrastructure works. The procurement method utilised is the open procedure, with bids assessed solely on price criteria.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses in the construction and property development sectors, particularly those with capabilities in residential housing.

With a minimum requirement of a 10% non-refundable deposit upon contract exchange, interested bidders should prepare to demonstrate their financial stability and commitment to delivering the necessary planning policy outcomes.

## Notice

The opportunity relates to the freehold disposal of c. 18.42 hectares of residential development land at Collaton St Mary, Paignton and will result in a contract of sale.. Torbay Council previously sought to dispose of the land with detailed conditions attached prescribing delivery outcomes, milestones etc. The Competitive Dialogue process undertaken was not successful. Torbay Council has therefore agreed to remove all conditions to sale (apart from a requirement to deliver planning policy affordable housing provision). The land is allocated for residential development in both the Torbay Local Plan and the Collaton St Mary Masterplan. Detailed due diligence has been undertaken and planning consent obtained for a new highways junction linking with Totnes Road to the north, and for demolition of the vacant former farm buildings on the site. In compliance with planning policy the purchaser shall be required to deliver 30% of the proposed scheme as affordable housing, to be split between Social Rent, Affordable Rent and Shared Ownership tenures. No other delivery conditions shall apply to the sale. The sale includes an opportunity to access Land Release Fund grant funds of PS850,000, payable towards infrastructure works, surveys, mitigation and other identified enabling works. In addition to this PS394,000 has been set aside to forward fund s.106 works relating to an offsite flood attenuation scheme within Collaton St Mary village and the Council will make available c. 10 hectares of land on an adjacent site for ecology mitigation and offsetting. Bids will be assessed using a single criteria: Price. The Council requires that a 10% non-refundable deposit shall be payable upon exchange of contracts.
