The site sits at the heart of the town and plays an important role in its economic, social and civic function.\nSince establishing the Development Principles in May 2025, the Council has undertaken further work to explore the viability, deliverability and strategic direction of the scheme. This has included member workshops, technical analysis and engagement with the market. The ambition remains to deliver a high-quality, mixed-use scheme that supports the long-term vitality of the town centre, including new homes, a reimagined market offer, a viable commercial mix and enhanced public realm.\nBuilding on the Development Principles and the Consultation Summary Report, this work has explored a number of key factors in greater depth. This includes testing development scenarios and their impact on viability, reviewing the condition and performance of existing assets, and considering delivery route options and associated risk profiles. Parking and accessibility have also been considered, including capacity, distribution and potential mitigation measures. Early engagement with developers and delivery partners has provided initial insight into market appetite, delivery structures and the conditions required to support investment.\nThe purpose of this PME is to seek market feedback on the emerging approach, including the viability of the proposed land use mix, key constraints to delivery, potential delivery models, commercial structures and procurement approach. Feedback will be used to inform the Council’s future strategy and any subsequent procurement.\nIn addition to this PME exercise, the Council will be engaging with the market through an informal breakfast briefing session at UKREiiF in May 2026. This session is intended to provide an opportunity for discussion and early market insight. Attendance is optional, and any information relevant to the opportunity will be made available through the formal PME process to ensure transparency and equal access.\nThis engagement is being conducted for information-gathering purposes only and does not constitute a call for competition or commitment to procure. Participation will not confer any advantage in any future procurement process. The Council will ensure that any relevant information arising from this engagement is shared in a transparent and non-discriminatory manner.\nNHDC uses an e-tendering system (In-Tend) for all procurement activity, including this PME exercise.

The initial phase of the appointment would comprise of feasibility, viability, master-planning and delivery planning activities designed to refine the regeneration proposals, test commercial assumptions, assess development risk and inform the preferred delivery model. The scope of Stage 2 will be informed by the outputs of Stage 1, and determine whether the Council wishes to proceed onto Phase 2 or not. Phase 2 will include detailed development planning, delivery preparation, planning and consenting activities, development agreement support, implementation planning and other services required to support project delivery.

The site sits at the heart of the town and plays an important role in its economic, social and civic function.\nSince establishing the Development Principles in May 2025, the Council has undertaken further work to explore the viability, deliverability and strategic direction of the scheme. This has included member workshops, technical analysis and engagement with the market. The ambition remains to deliver a high-quality, mixed-use scheme that supports the long-term vitality of the town centre, including new homes, a reimagined market offer, a viable commercial mix and enhanced public realm.\nBuilding on the Development Principles and the Consultation Summary Report, this work has explored a number of key factors in greater depth. This includes testing development scenarios and their impact on viability, reviewing the condition and performance of existing assets, and considering delivery route options and associated risk profiles. Parking and accessibility have also been considered, including capacity, distribution and potential mitigation measures. Early engagement with developers and delivery partners has provided initial insight into market appetite, delivery structures and the conditions required to support investment.\nThe purpose of this PME is to seek market feedback on the emerging approach, including the viability of the proposed land use mix, key constraints to delivery, potential delivery models, commercial structures and procurement approach. Feedback will be used to inform the Council’s future strategy and any subsequent procurement.\nIn addition to this PME exercise, the Council will be engaging with the market through an informal breakfast briefing session at UKREiiF in May 2026. This session is intended to provide an opportunity for discussion and early market insight. Attendance is optional, and any information relevant to the opportunity will be made available through the formal PME process to ensure transparency and equal access.\nThis engagement is being conducted for information-gathering purposes only and does not constitute a call for competition or commitment to procure. Participation will not confer any advantage in any future procurement process. The Council will ensure that any relevant information arising from this engagement is shared in a transparent and non-discriminatory manner.\nNHDC uses an e-tendering system (In-Tend) for all procurement activity, including this PME exercise.

The site occupies a prominent and strategically important location adjoining the historic core, the River Hiz corridor and the existing market area. Over the past year, the Council has undertaken an extensive programme of work including financial analysis, specialist technical work, Project Board workshops and Member briefings. This work has enabled the Council to move from high-level vision setting into a more informed, evidence-led and delivery-focused phase.\nAlongside this, the Council has also undertaken a Pre-Market engagement exercise and early engagement with the development and investment sector to inform future procurement, delivery and partnership decisions. Feedback from this work has demonstrated strong market interest in Hitchin and increased confidence in both the credibility of the opportunity and the Council’s commitment to delivering a high-quality regeneration programme for the town centre.\nThe next stage of work is intended to ensure that future decisions regarding the regeneration of the site are informed, evidence-led and commercially robust.\nThe Council is now seeking to procure specialist regeneration and development expertise to work alongside the project team in refining a deliverable scheme, testing assumptions in greater detail, reducing uncertainty and supporting the transition from strategic visioning into delivery planning and implementation.\nThe procurement will be structured around two phases. The initial phase of the appointment would comprise of feasibility, viability, master-planning and delivery planning activities designed to refine the regeneration proposals, test commercial assumptions, assess development risk and inform the preferred delivery model. The scope of Stage 2 will be informed by the outputs of Stage 1, and determine whether the Council wishes to proceed onto Phase 2 or not. Phase 2 will include detailed development planning, delivery preparation, planning and consenting activities, development agreement support, implementation planning and other services required to support project delivery. Any progression beyond Phase 1 would remain subject to future Council approval, satisfactory performance of the appointed partner, confirmation of any necessary funding (i.e. setting a capital budget for the scheme) and compliance with the contractual gateway provisions established through the procurement.\nNorth Hertfordshire District Council uses an E-Tendering system (In-Tend).\nTenders must be returned through the Supply Hertfordshire Portal at the following website:.

The severity and impact of such factors may not be known until after the commencement of the Phase 1 Feasibility Study and/or the Phase 2 development agreement following the completion of surveys or the commencement of works.\n•\tThere is a known risk in relation to the development that is the subject of this Procurement that, until the Phase 1 Feasibility Study and accompanying design and commercial analysis is completed, the commercial viability of the development within the Authority's requirements is not known. The risk that the development may not proceed due to unforeseen development cost changes or other market pressures would jeopardise the satisfactory delivery of the development that is the subject of this Procurement and cannot be fully addressed at this time. The materialisation of such viability risks may (subject to paragraphs 5(1)(b) and 7 of Schedule 8 of the Act) require a modification to the services, works or financial commitments that are confirmed pursuant to this Procurement. \n•\tNotwithstanding the government announcement on 7 September 2026, the Authority is likely to be subject to local government re-organisation during the term of this development project.
