### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Employer, Lochaber Housing Association (LHA), wishes to develop a site at Upper Achintore, Fort William to provide 400 housing units, primarily for social rent with some mid-market rent properties and LIFT properties. It is intended that 10% of the properties will be speculatively built houses for sale and the successful bidder will be offered the opportunity to carry out these works on their own behalf. The exact mix of house types and tenure is still to be defined but the properties will be a mixture of detached, semi- detached, terraced and flatted units. In order to achieve this objective LHA intends to adopt a two stage procurement process, firstly by identifying a Partnership Contractor to join a Collaborative Working Team and to be appointed to a Framework Agreement using FA/Scot Framework Agreement 2014 Edition and thereafter to draw down Contracts for the preparation of a Master Plan using PCSA/Scot Pre-Construction Services Agreement (General Contractor) 2013 and for Construction of Housing and Infrastructure in Phases using DB/Scot 2011 Edition (2015 Revision) The Initial Phase One Proposal is for 80 units - 64 for social rent and 16 mid-market rent. Subsequent Phases will be drawn down subject to time and quality performance and funding constraints. It is intended to build out the entire development by 2025.. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.
