The Council is seeking to engage with the market regarding the development of two available sites either side of Edward Street in Kemptown, Brighton.
The site is divided into two lots, one on each side of Edward Street:
Oakley House (Lot 1) and Car Park site (Lot 2).
Contractors will be able to bid for one or both lots individually via a competitive flexible procedure of 3 stages; Stage 1: PSQ and Quality only. (Shortlist to the top 5 scoring returns), Stage 2: Quality and Price full details released at stage 1 shortlist. Stage 3: Value engineering, full details released with stage 2.
Oakley House consists of the demolition of the existing mixed-use building and the creation of a single block with a maximum elevation of 6 stories comprising of 23 flats (1, 2 and 3 bedrooms). All of these units are being built for affordable rent. This site is intended to be delivered through a single stage lump sum JCT 2024 Design and Build contract.
