This tender, currently in the active stage, comes under the "Construction work" industry category. The locations for Lot A include the Peckham, Old Kent Road, and Camberwell Green wards, while Lot B covers the Rotherhithe and North Bermondsey wards. Key dates include a tender period ending on 24 March 2025. The contract is initially for six years, with an option to extend for an additional four years. The estimated value for Lot A is £128,857,182, and for Lot B it is £135,442,064, excluding optional pipeline sites valued at £391,606,372. This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in construction, real estate development, and urban planning. Companies that can fund, design, develop, and manage residential projects, especially those with a focus on affordable housing, would find this project particularly beneficial. By participating, businesses can gain substantial contracts and establish robust partnerships with the council, contributing to a decade-long development programme aiming to enhance housing quality and sustainability within the Borough. Competitive dialogue and variant policy restrictions will apply, ensuring a meticulous selection process for the most capable partners. ## Notice The London Borough of Southwark ('the council') is seeking two development Partners ('Partner' or 'Partners') to fund, design, develop and undertake sales activity for two multi-site lots ('Lot A' and 'Lot B') within the Borough, via Development Agreements. The purpose is to work in partnership with the two Partners on the respective lots to deliver good quality and sustainable homes, with a key priority to maximise the numbers of affordable housing in each of the Lots. The sites forming the development programme are split across two Lots (with the Council appointing a different Partner for Lot A and Lot B each). Through the Development Agreements, the Council requires the two Partners to develop a package of sites in two distinct areas of the borough for each Lot, to deliver predominantly residential-led schemes with affordable housing and market housing (as well as potentially other buildings, structures and landscaping as required). Details of the sites forming each of the Lots are detailed in the Descriptive Document. Applicants should note that a single pool of Pipeline Sites also falls within scope of the overall procurement. The Council reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to bring forward any or all of the Pipeline Sites in either Lot, and to offer those sites to the developer who has been successful in either Lot. There is a single pool of Pipeline Sites and Applicants should note that it remains at the Council's sole discretion to which (if any) of the Lots those Pipeline Sites may be offered. For the avoidance of doubt, there is no guarantee that any or all of the Pipeline Sites will be offered to either developer in either Lot A or Lot B during the course of the development programme. Where a developer is offered a Pipeline Site and the developer chooses to opt to include that Pipeline Site as part of the programme, the Pipeline Site will become subject to the terms of the Development Agreement. Taking forward any of the "Pipeline Sites" will be subject to council decision-making processes which have not yet been completed. This includes taking account of the outcomes of any resident ballots. The estimated duration of the contract is for a term of six (6) years, with an option to extend at the Council's sole discretion by a further period of 4 years (subject to obtaining Council approval to such extension), giving a total possible contract term of 10 years. The total estimated possible value is as set out in II.1.5. The estimated value of Lot A excluding any pipeline sites is PS128,857,182 (GDV) The estimated value of Lot B excluding any pipeline sites is PS135,442,064 (GDV) The estimated value of the optional pipelines sites is PS391,606,372 (GDV) ### Lot Information Lot 1 The purpose of the pre-market consultation is to gain an understanding of the approach of the market to several pertinent questions that will help Southwark Council to inform and optimise the design of the forthcoming procurement.
