## Summary

The Leicester City Council has completed the procurement process for the "FEW1153 - Development Agreement Plot 3a-c Exploration Drive, Leicester." This project falls within the construction industry and aims to deliver approximately 6,000 square metres of commercial space, including offices and industrial units, on a turnkey basis. The contract, which is currently active, has an awarded value of £14,250,000 and was signed on 21 July 2022. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, based on the supplier's exclusive rights related to the land redevelopment within Leicester, UKF2.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in construction, architectural design, and engineering services, particularly those with a focus on sustainable projects, as the development aims for net carbon zero operations. Companies that specialise in turnkey projects or have experience in the redevelopment of mixed-use commercial spaces would be well-suited to compete. With the market moving towards environmentally friendly construction practices, businesses that can leverage innovative heating solutions and site-wide operational efficiencies will find themselves in a strong position to participate in similar future tenders.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Dock 3 scheme will deliver approx. 6,000sq.m of commercial space. This space will be approx. 4,000sq.m of offices in 2 buildings and 2,000sq.m of industrial space in a terrace of 9 units. The accommodation will be delivered on a turnkey basis and will be net carbon zero operationally.

### Procurement Information

The supplier has the benefit of an option over part of the site. The option gives them a contractual right to acquire the land and bring forward its redevelopment. To carry out the further development of Dock 3 - this is based on the way in which the site is being developed such that the proposed terrace of office units' straddle both the existing site and the land the subject of the option. The supplier was commissioned to carry out design, enabling and other works to the whole site. To appoint a developer following the completion of those works would thereby incur a time delay, in understanding the site. It is likely the buildings on site will be heated by a series of ground source heat pumps. This sort of technical approach will only work on a site-wide basis. Surface water drainage to serve the site, also requires a site-wide approach. Finally, there are other practical issues in having two developers working on the same site. We understand that it in particular the developers would need to agree on how and when levels would be tied up and how and when they would work adjacent to each other on a tight site. Dock 2 was built out with the compound on the adjacent site which is the subject site here. There is no adjacent land left. If one developer develops the site, they are going to need to move a compound around. If there are two developers, it will be very difficult to have two compounds moving around a 3-acre site during a tight development programme.
