The contract, valued at £13,000,000 GBP, involves the regeneration of a 6.5 ha area to create a mix of uses that complement the existing town centre. The procurement process, using a selective procedure, is currently at the Tender stage with a tender deadline of January 16, 2023. The contract period is scheduled to run from March 16, 2023, to June 18, 2026. This tender presents an opportunity for housing developers to partner with Lancaster City Council in delivering new homes to exacting environmental standards. Suitable businesses should have experience in housing development and place-making. The tender process involves an Expression of Interest stage followed by a Pre-qualification/Sifting stage before the Invitation to Tender. Businesses must be prepared to comply with submission terms via The Chest Procurement Portal and maintain bid validity until July 28, 2023. The Council's aim is to unlock homes on brownfield land and engage a single preferred developer to drive the early phase housing scheme forward. ## Notice Regeneration of the Canal Quarter area is critical to enhancing Lancaster's role as a sub-regional centre and boosting its housing, commercial, cultural and leisure offer. Over the next 10 years it is envisaged that key "gap" sites and dereliction within the 6.5 ha wider site envelope will be addressed, and development progressed for a mix of uses that will complement the existing town centre and provide for balanced place-making. Lancaster City Council is seeking to appoint a preferred housing developer partner to assist in delivering its housing regeneration ambitions for a city council owned site designated for early release within the Lancaster Canal Quarter regeneration area. The council is seeking bids from housing developers (and their associates) or consortium (with identified lead organisation) to promote and develop an early phase market housing scheme. The council has been awarded Brownfield Land Release Fund (BLFR) money for the site, the aim of which is to unlock new homes on derelict and underused brownfield land through the One Public Estate programme. The money will help the council to bring forward plans for this early phase housing site which would see new homes delivered to the council's exacting environmental standards. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Interested parties registering their interest will automatically receive to the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire / Sifting Brief).
