FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT FOR DEVLOPERS TO PROVIDE LAND, DESIGN & BUILD SOLUTIONS FOR SOCIAL HOUSING

The purpose of this procurement is to establish a Framework Agreement onto which Radius intends to appoint a number of Developers who will identify and bring forward sites and schemes for the provision of the delivery of Social Housing and /or Affordable Housing for Sale. This Framework will be split into three different Lots based on the anticipated number of units a site is expected to yield. In each case it is anticipated that schemes will be brought forward by means of design and build.

Developers should note that this is not a conventional building works Framework and interested parties are invited to review the detailed requirements outlined in the ITT Documents.

For the avoidance of doubt, Developers do not need to have secured a site to develop at this stage, however, the expectation is that Developers appointed to the Framework will have the skills and expertise to identify and secure sites that are suitable to bring forward the delivery of housing schemes for Radius.

In addition, where Radius owns a site which can be developed by the successful Developer(s), Radius may, at its absolute discretion, decide to utilise the Framework to run a mini-competition with all those Developers on the Framework who are eligible to take part in the mini-competition process to take forward a contract for building works.

A more detailed description of requirements is provided in Section 4 of these Instructions to Tender and in the Contract Documents Pack.
