Council seeks housing partner for £16m project
Liverpool City Council is seeking a developer to bring back into use vacant council-owned properties in streets within the Kensington, Granby and Picton renewal areas.
The three year contract involves 177 residential properties being redeveloped to provide affordable homes to own or rent.
The council said the selected developer or developers will be required to finance the £15.93m scheme as it will not be providing public funding towards it.
The council said in order to ensure that the development meets the quality standards which it is seeking, it is envisaged that the disposal will be on the basis of a development agreement with an agreed form of transfer and lease that will be granted to the developer at an agreed stage of the development.
Companies have until 12pm on Wednesday 6 July to register for pre-qualification questionnaires and can submit for one or more of the three lots available.
The council said selected candidates will then be invited to tender on Monday 25 July 2011.
Companies will need to register with the North West's local authority procurement portal website, The Chest
