Description
The Council are intending to undertake the procurement of a Development Partner to deliver the redevelopment of the Clair Hall site. The redevelopment shall incorporate a new cultural facility on part of the site, alongside redevelopment of the remainder of the site for other uses. The redevelopment (aside from the cultural facility) is anticipated to be a residential-led mixed use development; however, the design and construction will ultimately be a product of the procurement process. The Council has undertaken a separate procurement to select a Cultural Operator to enter into a concession agreement for the new cultural facility. The Contract Award Notice has been issued. Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) has been undertaken by the Council's advisers, Montagu Evans, between September 2025 to December 2025, the findings of which have informed this procurement process. The advisers sought to engage with suppliers to establish market knowledge of and understand the level of developer interest in the development of the Clair Hall site, and to seek views on how/if developers would be prepared to tender for this opportunity through a formal procurement process. The engagement exercise sought market feedback on developers' views on the concept approach for development of the Site and was used to obtain scheme specific feedback in relation to the opportunity, given the Council's requirement for a developer to deliver and fund the new Cultural Facility (of a designated size within the site) as part of a mixed-use development. Further detail on the market engagement exercise is set out in the Preliminary Engagement Notice issued by the Council on 02 February 2026 and in the report setting out the approach to and outputs of the preliminary market engagement (as issued via the Council's Portal). It should be noted that the 'total value (estimated)' stated in this notice is an expression of the estimated gross development value of the development, plus construction cost of the cultural facility, which will be delivered through the opportunity.
