This procurement specifically relates to development of the former Wareham Middle School site, on Worgret Road in Wareham. However, Dorset Council owns other sites in Wareham and wishes to reserve the right to appoint the successful tenderer to carry out future phases of development as part of this contract opportunity.

Before deciding to pursue this option, Dorset Council will consider the performance of the Developer to implement and deliver the contract for the Middle School development. The Council reserves the right to market alternative development sites separately. Further details about the circumstances in which Dorset Council may exercise the option are set out in the procurement documents
