This includes in Airdrie, a traditional and historic town centre that is served by excellent public transport links to Glasgow and Edinburgh and where the Council is progressing plans to create a much more active, vibrant town centre for people to live, learn, work, invest and visit. Airdrie is the third largest town in North Lanarkshire (by population), with around 37,000 residents living in the town. The recently approved Airdrie Town Vision sets out an aspiration for Airdrie town centre to become an outstanding place to live: Airdrie with its improved access and connections offers excellent opportunities for town centre living. The historic centre with sensitive urban infill and building conversions will provide a range of homes meeting a wide range of local needs with good access to services and an attractive town centre environment. The Council is keen to diversify tenure and attract a wider range of households to live in Airdrie town centre. In particular, it is keen to encourage and enable the development of mid-market rented homes which are accessible and attractive to younger and working households on moderate and middle incomes. Airdrie boasts an enviable location close to some of Scotland's largest employment centres, as the nearest large town to BioCity, Eurocentral, Maxim Park and University Hospital Monklands. The Council is also looking to establish Airdrie as hubs for creative sector activity and for enterprise, which may further increase both the attractiveness of Airdrie and demand for housing in the town centre. Given the relatively low levels of Local Housing Allowance in North Lanarkshire, the Council recognises that providing mid-market rent, even with Affordable Housing Supply Programme grant, can be challenging given the current high costs of development. The Council is developing a model, based on selling completed developments to RSL subsidiaries for mid-market rent, on a turnkey basis. It intends to complete a number of small conversion and development projects and invite bids from eligible organisations for the transfer of these assets. The Council will provide a 'guide price' informed by detailed financial modelling, alongside findings from a demand analysis report which it will commission, and RSL subsidiaries will be invited to make bids to acquire the completed assets. If a RSL bid is accepted, the Council would potentially bear any risk that the guide price is not met. The scale of this potential opportunity depends on the outcome of a number of external funding bids which the Council is currently pursuing. Should the market wish to clarify any element of the requirement, they should utilise the "Questions and answers" function within the PIN on PCS. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/028195-2022 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Oct 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 31 Jan 2023 | | 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 | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORTH LANARKSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | MOTHERWELL | | Post town | Motherwell | | Postcode | ML1 1AB | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM34 North Lanarkshire | | Local authority | North Lanarkshire | | Electoral ward | Motherwell South East and Ravenscraig | | Westminster constituency | Motherwell, Wishaw and Carluke | | Delivery location | TLM84 North Lanarkshire | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 70 - Real estate services ### Codes - 70000000 - Real estate services - 70100000 - Real estate services with own property - 70111000 - Development of residential real estate - 70200000 - Renting or leasing services of own property - 70210000 - Residential property renting or leasing services - 70331000 - Residential property services ## Release History - 7 Oct 2022 at 09:29 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/028195-2022 ## Notice URLs - http://www.northlanarkshire.gov.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000709462 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=709462 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/Search_AuthProfile.aspx?ID=AA00010 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
