RAF Scampton redevelopment

West Lindsey District Council (the "Council") is looking to procure, pursuant to a competitive dialogue procurement process (Regulation 30 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, a suitably qualified partner organisation to regenerate and redevelop the site currently known as RAF Scampton (the "Site")

The Council have commenced negotiations to acquire the site from the Ministry of Defence (the "MOD"). The Defence Infrastructure Organisation (the "DIO") are managing the disposal on behalf of the MOD and the acquisition remains subject to a number of outstanding conditions.

The Council is interested to identify organisations with the capacity and capability to develop a commercial structure in partnership with the Council that maximises the key spatial issues, assets and unique potential of the site. This should include how the regeneration of the site would be comprehensively managed, master planned and delivered.

The Council have prepared a set of redevelopment and regeneration objectives that will form the basis of the competitive procedure. These objectives bring together the evidence base which forms the foundation of the emerging Central Lincolnshire Local Plan Opportunity Area Policy for RAF Scampton (reg.19), the results of engagement with the community, feedback and input from key stakeholders and analysis of local, regional and national strategy and policy.

The value of the regeneration project will depend upon the land value and the chosen tenderers' proposals for the site but we anticipate that this is expected to have a land value of between £3-5 million and an opportunity for a development of up to £300 million.
