Appointment of Cost Consultants for leisure led development

Burnley Council requires the support of an experienced cost consultant (QS) during the pre-development and delivery phase of a major new leisure and retail scheme.

Additional information: The Curzon Street Development site is located within Burnley town centre at the northern edge of the primary shopping area, between Burnley Knowledge Quarter and the Charter Walk Shopping Centre. Located on the key gateway into the Town Centre, the site extends to 1.5ha and was previously occupied by the Co-Op (Pioneer) Supermarket which is now demolished. The site is currently used as a pay and display car park for 250 spaces. Following a successful OJEU procurement process, Burnley Council has agreed to appoint Maple Grove Developments to develop a leisure and retail scheme. The Pioneer Place scheme is to include: o a new 18,000 sqft cinema for the relocated Reel cinema; o 7 restaurant units totalling 28,800 sqft; o 3 retail units totalling 18,750 sqft; o a public plaza; and, o a 125 space car park In order to allow Reel to relocate, the Council has agreed to develop and provide them with a new cinema building at Pioneer Place, in exchange for their existing Manchester Road site just outside the town centre boundary. The Manchester Road site will be transferred to the Council once the new cinema has been completed and is operational. The Council will be taking ownership of the following at the Manchester Road site: o 27,700 sqft cinema unit with integrated (vacant) 1,580 sqft restaurant/ takeaway unit - this is to be redeveloped for a supermarket occupier; o Hollywood Star pub; and, o 290 space car park. Pioneer Place represents a major opportunity to grow Burnley Town Centre with a scheme that will complement the ongoing regeneration of the town. Redevelopment of Pioneer Place will supplement the existing thriving retail and service centre with a wider leisure, cultural and social experience during the day and into the evening that will underpin Burnley as an attractive place to live, work and visit. It is also key to the future development and growth of UCLan in the town, who see this development as essential in terms of providing a competitive student experience. Burnley Council and Maple Grove Developments are jointly working to finalise the development details, secure tenant pre-lets, obtain detailed planning approval and secure funding for the development before commencing construction works in 2020. Maple Grove is advised by Brady Chartered Surveyors, Trevor Dawson, JLL, SCp Highways Consultant, Booth King Partnership Ltd, Smith and Love and AEW Architects. Maple Grove Developments and Burnley Council are targeting March 2020 for construction works to commence on site, with Pioneer Place open September 2021 and the supermarket at Manchester Road trading by April 2022.

The value of the contract stated in this notice merely stipulates the Council's anticipated range of value for this work. This is provided to manage Bidder expectations in terms of funding available for this procurement.
