## Summary

The London Borough of Redbridge is currently engaged in the procurement process for the "Ilford Western Gateway JV Partnership," which falls under the real estate services industry category. This active tender is in the Planning stage, with a submission deadline set for 9 August 2021. The contract is valued at £500 million, and the procurement process is being conducted through a selective method using competitive dialogue. The Council aims to establish a joint venture partnership to support regeneration efforts across the Western Gateway site, which will feature up to 1,000 new homes alongside commercial and community spaces.

This tender presents an exceptional opportunity for development and property management businesses, particularly those with expertise in large-scale residential and mixed-use projects. Companies that can offer development management services, construction capabilities, or financing expertise will find this project particularly suitable. Additionally, firms experienced in collaborative land assembly and regeneration initiatives within urban settings will be well-positioned to compete for this joint venture partnership with the Council, as they will need to demonstrate their ability to contribute effectively to the shared goal of creating a sustainable and attractive neighbourhood.

## Notice

The London Borough of Redbridge (the "Council") is seeking to establish a joint venture ("JV") between the Council and a development partner (the "PSP") in relation to the Ilford Western Gateway development. The Council is seeking to deliver comprehensive regeneration across the Western Gateway site, delivering a 'world class neighbourhood in a world class city'. The Western Gateway site will deliver a residential led, mixed use development, delivering up to 1,000 new homes alongside commercial and community uses. Future sites may also be offered to the JV at the Council's discretion. The Council is seeking a PSP to help realise its ambitions for the Western Gateway, with delivery through a 50/50 JV partnership arrangement. The proposed legal and commercial structure is set out in detail within the Key Commercial Principles document and draft contract documents and will be established through the procurement process but it is envisaged that the structure will see both parties having an equal equity interest. The Council is seeking to invest its land as equity, with the option to provide additional cash equity where required, with the PSP bringing finance and development expertise. The PSP will be expected to provide (but not limited to) development management services with a fee payable for the provision of these services. The JV, the PSP (or a member of its group or consortium) may also provide construction works and services to the Council. The PSP will also be required to support the Council in land assembly activities. While the Council owns significant amounts of the Western Gateway site, there are other landowners who hold an interest and the partners will work together to consolidate land ownership and bring forward the comprehensive development of the site.

The Council has also developed a spatial framework for the Western Gateway site which sets out the placemaking principles that the development will need to have regard to. The principles put public realm first and green connected spaces at the heart of the framework and the Council is actively committed to investing in the realignment of the road gyratory, creating more of a street network, which will in turn unlock the vision for the Western Gateway.
