Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) Contract Type: Works
The transformation of the central Winchester regeneration (CWR) site is of key
strategic importance to the Council. The vision for the area is for a mixed-use,
pedestrian friendly quarter that reflects the distinctive character of Winchester
City Centre, supports a vibrant retail and cultural / heritage offer which is set
within an exceptional public realm and incorporates the imaginative re-use of
existing buildings. This vision is set out within the Central Winchester
Regeneration Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) 2018 and a Development
Brief (included with procurement documents and available for unrestricted and
full direct electronic access, free of charge. Use the link below under
'More Information' to access).
The Council is seeking to procure a development partner to turn this vision
into reality. It is critical that the development partner shares the passion for
transformational development that is sensitive to the heritage of an ancient
cathedral City and is prepared to commit for the long term. Commitment to
sustainability and engagement across Winchester's varied communities is
also required.
The site (as detailed in the procurement documents) is located in the heart
of the City and includes the bus station, Kings Walk, Coitbury House,
Friarsgate car park and the old Friarsgate Medical Centre. The site comprises
circa 3.68 acres (1.49 ha) of land and consists of two separate boundaries.
The indicative GIA mix of uses comprise:
Circa 180,000 sq ft of residential of which a minimum of 40% is to be
affordable;
Circa 80,000 sq ft of mixed-use space;
Circa 25,000 sq ft of retail and F&B space.
The Council is seeking to procure a development partner to enter into a
development agreement under the terms of which the development partner
will undertake to deliver the overall development on a phased basis, and
in accordance with the SPD and Development Brief. The development
partner will be appointed to carry out design and planning, community
engagement and consultation, and all other preparatory activities prior
to the draw-down of each phase (by way of long lease). The scheme
will require the delivery of all enabling infrastructure as well as exemplary
public realm. The long-term stewardship, management, curation and
activation of the completed scheme is equally essential.
The estimated lowest and highest values shown above are an expression
of the estimated gross development value.
Please note that the contract start and end date are indicative at this stage.
