two.1.4) Short description
The City of Edinburgh Council (the Council) has purchased the Liberton Hospital site, located in the South East locality on the intersection of Lasswade Road and Ellen’s Glen Road, from NHS Lothian.
The site is approximately 6.5 hectares (4.2 net developable area) in size.
The ambition for the development is to deliver a mixed-use development with around 388 homes, around half of which will be affordable homes, owned by the Council, some of which will be aimed at providing a home with specialist support for older people or those with accessibility needs. The development also includes a requirement to refurbish or retain the façade of the old Edwardian Liberton hospital building and assess the viability of retaining the 1960s hospital building.
The Council is seeking to procure a Development Partner with the necessary skills, experience and capacity to deliver an exemplar development. This opportunity to work with the Council, initially over an 18-month period as part of a two stage Pre-Development contract has been devised as part of the Council’s procurement strategy to reduce the burden of tendering as much as possible on Candidates and to encourage collaboration, innovation, risk apportionment, and partnership between the Council and the Development Partner prior to entering into a Development Agreement.
As a Candidate, you will be experienced and capable of delivering complex regeneration and mixed tenure development projects of similar scale and nature. Your team will be multi-disciplinary and consist of the Development Partner, full design team services, construction contractors and specialist expertise in areas such as sustainability and modern methods of construction. You will identify opportunities for working with the local community and Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs), creating new jobs and stimulating the local economy.
The gross development value is projected at GBO90million - GBP120million.
