The scheme will be owned and managed by a Registered Housing Provider. The tender process is scheduled for 2023, with a soft market testing exercise currently ongoing, allowing interested parties to express their views before the official tendering process begins. Potential providers must complete a questionnaire by 21/06/2023 to participate in the Soft Market Testing. This opportunity presents a chance for Registered Housing Providers or Consortia arrangements to engage in the design and construction of social housing schemes in Leicester. Businesses involved in construction-related services, health and social work services, as well as community and personal services, would find this tender conducive to their expertise and can leverage their skills to compete effectively in securing this project from Leicester City Council. ## Notice THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION Leicester City Council (the 'Authority') is considering seeking to secure a provider to design and build an Affordable Housing Independent Living Scheme with "Move On" Accommodation on an Authority owned site at Sturdee Road, Leicester, to be owned and managed by a Registered Housing Provider (RP). The Authority is considering proposing to sell the freehold to the site to the successful Registered Provider and receive 100% nomination rights in perpetuity for all dwellings within the scheme. It is anticipated, dependent upon this soft market testing exercise, that Tenders for this requirement would be sought in 2023 to enable selection of the provider during 2023. As part of the commissioning process, the Authority is undertaking a soft market test. This gives potential Registered Housing Providers (RPs) or Consortia arrangements ("Providers") and other stakeholders the opportunity to express their interests and feed in their views about the proposed project brief. To participate in this Soft Market Testing, potential Registered Housing Providers (RPs) or Consortia arrangements ("Providers") and other stakeholders that may be interested must complete a Soft Market Testing questionnaire.
