two.2.4) Description of the procurement
The City of Edinburgh Council (the Council) has purchased the former 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 Council will shortly be preparing its procurement strategy to identify the most appropriate route to market for the delivery of this unique opportunity with the aim to provide integrated specialist accommodation (meeting the needs of the Edinburgh Health & Social Care Partnership) as well as affordable and private homes for sale, sustainable and active travel and achieving net zero ambitions. The Development Partner must have collective experience in the construction of affordable, specialist accommodation and private housing, commercial space, and high quality public realm.
The ambition for the development is to deliver a mixed use development with around 380 homes, around half of which will be affordable homes aimed at providing a home with specialist support for older people or those with accessibility needs. The development also includes a requirement to refurbish the old Liberton hospital, even if it is façade retention. More information is contained within with Appendix 1 – Development Opportunity.
This Prior Information Notice (PIN) seeks to identify the most appropriate procurement and contractual strategy to meet the developments aims and objectives. The options being considered are:
- Development Partner opportunity published as a Contract Notice opportunity - the development partner would construct the affordable housing for the Council, while the remaining residential units would represent a development opportunity for the partner. The development partner would also be responsible for delivering an energy solution for the full site.
- Use of a local or national framework to deliver construction works creating serviced plots for sale following design works completed by the Council’s appointed design team
This market consultation exercise is an exciting opportunity for potential bidders to participate in finalising the Council’s procurement strategy and gain insight into the proposed development strategy. Potential bidders who are interested in this opportunity are invited to download the market research questionnaire and complete no later than 3 May 2023.
