Architects on notice for £1.5m contract due to be published later this month
The UK’s biggest housing association has put architects on notice for a £1.5m job to masterplan a major mixed-use scheme in Essex which will include up to 9,000 homes.
Latimer, the commercial development arm of 125,000-home housing association Clarion, published a prior information notice for the contract last week.
The Tendring and Colchester Borders Garden Community scheme, thought to be worth £3bn and spanning 1,000 acres, is one of the largest development opportunities within the group’s portfolio.
The joint project for Tendring district council, Colchester borough council and Essex county council aims to start providing the first new homes from 2025 and over the next two decades.
The current scope of the job is to secure outline planning consent for the scheme, which also includes employment space, a university campus expansion, a new country park and associated infrastructure.
The contract is split into four lots, which can all be awarded to a single tenderer and cover services up to and including submission of an outline planning application and through to planning consent.
The first lot is for a masterplanner, design code author and lead consultant, the second lot for landscape architecture, the third lot for engineering services, and the fourth lot for public consultation and engagement in support of the masterplan.
A full contract notice with the deadline to submit tenders will be published on 31 August.
Clarion拥有1.8万套住宅的开发项目，该集团今年4月和5月的总营业额为1.69亿英镑。本月早些时候发布的季度更新通常会包括6月份的数据，但由于一次网络攻击，这些数据不得不被删除。
In April, the group announced details of a record-breaking year for new housing completions. It built 2,276 homes during the 2021/22 financial year - more than 80% of which were for affordable tenures.
In the same month it secured planning permission forBroadway Malyan-designed plans在利兹西部的空地上建造1400栋房屋
