A contract for a whole life value of £129,500 be awarded to the winning bidder to deliver Project Management and Employers Agent services for the Bellegrove Housing Development.
The London Borough of Bromley is taking steps to reduce the number of households in nightly paid accommodation by developing quality affordable housing on council owned sites. Bellegrove is a former residential care home in St Paul’s Cray, Orpington which is currently being used for Temporary Accommodation with shared facilities but is considered likely to be viable for permanent housing. Early feasibility has indicated that the site could be fully redeveloped into permanent housing, providing between 55 to 70 dwellings and ongoing revenue savings against rising Temporary Accommodation costs. The procurement of professional consultancy services for design and technical services is required to progress the scheme through RIBA stages 2 – 7, with suitable break clauses at each relevant RIBA stage should the project not progress at any stage for any reason.
