Description

For the avoidance of doubt - this is a pre-market engagement exercise in order to gather information from the supply market. This stage is not a tendering exercise. The Council intends to undertake a procurement exercise for a Development Management Organisation (DMO) with proven expertise in complex, mixed use regeneration programmes which includes hotel development. To inform this process, the Council is carrying out a premarket engagement exercise to understand the capability of the supply market and to seek feedback that will shape the subsequent procurement approach.
