Delivery Partner in Relation to Church Street Site A and Possible Future Sites

Westminster City Council (the Council) regards Church Street as its flagship regeneration project. The Council has ambitious plans and is committed to significant investment to regenerate Church Street sustainably and build on the distinctive character of the place and its people. The Council’s objectives for the project are set out in the Masterplan Framework and Housing Renewal Strategy. The scheme is split into three parcels, Sites A, B & C together with the Church Street market and Public Realm. The Council has prepared designs ready for a planning application which were submitted in November 2021. Amendments have been made to this planning application, and have been submitted to the local planning authority in February 2023.

The Council will deliver Site A through a joint venture structure (the partners to the JV being either the Council or its wholly owned company and the delivery partner) and thus the Council seeks a delivery partner.

Church Street Delivery Partner for Site A and potentially subsequent phased sites B, C and Church Street Market public realm.

The inclusion of sites B, C and the Church Street Market and Public Realm are at the sole discretion of the Council, and there is no guarantee that these sites will be awarded to the appointed Delivery Partner. In the event that these sites are to be awarded to the appointed Delivery Partner they will be brought forward via a Future Sites Agreement.

The appointed Delivery Partner will help deliver Site A and, potentially subsequent phases, of the Church Street Masterplan. This will include working collaboratively with the Council, residents, and additional stakeholder groups to deliver Site A, of the Church Street Masterplan. As set out above, the potential subsequent sites and phasing of these sites will be optional and awarded at the Council’s sole discretion.

The estimated value of Site A is circa £250m - £280m. The potential estimated value of all possible sites under the Future Sites Agreement is £596m comprising additional sites B (circa £209m) & C (circa £102m) and market works (circa £4.5m) (cumulative estimate of all sites) that will be delivered in multiple phases. Each tenderer's attention is drawn to the section II.2.4 which sets out the Phasing process in more detail.
