Procurement of a Development Partner for the redevelopment of the Clair Hall site in Perrymount Road Haywards Heath

Mid Sussex District Council are considering whether to undertake the procurement of a Development Partner to deliver the redevelopment of the Clair Hall site. Such a redevelopment would be anticipated to include the construction of a new cultural facility on part of the site, alongside redevelopment of the remainder of the site for other uses. The Council's ambition is to regenerate the Clair Hall site to create a mixed-use vibrant and inclusive creative cultural hub in the centre of Haywards Heath. The Council would expect a Development Partner to fund the design and construction of the cultural facility in lieu of a receipt for the remainder of the site. The redevelopment (aside from the cultural facility) would be expected to be a residential-led mixed use development, however, the design and construction of the development would ultimately be a product of the procurement process. The Council is undertaking a separate procurement to select a Cultural Operator to enter into a concession agreement for the new cultural facility. This is expected to conclude by March 2026. 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 could be delivered through the opportunity.
