### Lot Information

The Seam is Barnsley's Digital Campus, a new district that will bring together people, business, education, research, and place. The vision for The Seam is to establish an inclusive, digital innovation campus built around the activity already happening in the DMC buildings, Barnsley College's new business Centre. It will be at the heart of a connected tech eco- system that will foster innovation and experimentation for the benefit of everyone. The Seam is intended to play a key role in supporting entrepreneurial spirit and enabling the growth of digital industries in a 'Smart City' campus environment. Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council (the Council) is looking to appoint a Developer to bring forward Plot 1 and 2 of the SEAM Phase 1 campus development for residential accommodation, who can help to bring to life the vision for the Seam Digital Campus in the heart of Barnsley Town centre. The appointed Developer may also be required to bring forward additional plots which have been identified in the Blueprint as being for residential development as part of future phases of the SEAM development, subject to performance and demand. The Blueprint can be found in the Stage One procurement documents. The estimated overall contract value is between PS18 million and PS49 million based on the estimated gross development value (GDV) of Plot 1 and 2 (The main focus of this initial agreement) and the sum of the estimated GDV for additional plots identified in the Blueprint for residential development 3, 6b and 7, which at this stage are not guaranteed. This is based on an estimated GDV for Plot 1 and 2 of between PS18 million and PS30 million dependant on the development mix proposed. Developers wishing to take part are invited to register an interest via the YORtender e-tendering portal and download and complete the Selection Questionnaire. To be considered as a bidder, you must complete and submit a Selection Questionnaire by the deadline provided. Only those shortlisted will be invited to submit an initial tender.

Options: There is an option for the Council to extend the agreement to include additional residential development plots within further phases of the Seam Digital campus development, subject to performance and demand.

Renewal: The duration of the contract will be dependant on the delivery programme of the Scheme from the successful Developer, but it is envisaged that completion of the development of Plot 1 and 2 will take approximately 24 months. The contract may also be extended to allow for the development of additional residential plots if the Council opts to do so.
