ASC0273 - Soft Market Test - Design and Build an Affordable Housing Independent Living Scheme for People with Mental Ill Health and “Move On” Accommodation for Other Vulnerable Groups, including People with Mental Ill Health, for Ownership and Management by a Registered Provider

THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION

Leicester City Council (the ‘Authority’) is considering seeking to secure a provider to design and build an Affordable Housing Independent Living Scheme with “Move On” Accommodation on an Authority owned site at Sturdee Road, Leicester, to be owned and managed by a Registered Housing Provider (RP). The Authority is considering proposing to sell the freehold to the site to the successful Registered Provider and receive 100% nomination rights in perpetuity for all dwellings within the scheme.

It is anticipated, dependent upon this soft market testing exercise, that Tenders for this requirement would be sought in 2023 to enable selection of the provider during 2023.

As part of the commissioning process, the Authority is undertaking a soft market test. This gives potential Registered Housing Providers (RPs) or Consortia arrangements (“Providers”) and other stakeholders the opportunity to express their interests and feed in their views about the proposed project brief.

To participate in this Soft Market Testing, potential Registered Housing Providers (RPs) or Consortia arrangements (“Providers”) and other stakeholders that may be interested must complete a Soft Market Testing questionnaire.

The questionnaire can be found by copying and pasting the following web link into your web browser:
