The brief

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 percent 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.

This soft market test process does not constitute a formal tender or other competitive bidding process and will not result in a Contract.

The Authority is using this process solely to test the market to gather information and ascertain the level of interest in this particular opportunity.

There are therefore no formal criteria which we will use to judge your responses and it is not our intention to provide any feedback.

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 below web link into your web browser.

This completed questionnaire must be returned electronically by email before or no later than 14:00 hours on 21/06/2023 to procurement-asc@leicester.gov.uk with the subject heading Completed SMT Q AH.
