As part of this "Restricted" procedure, the Client invites electronic responses from organisations who wish to competitively tender for the opportunity to be appointed as Employer's Agent (inclusive of Quantity Surveyor Role) and Principal Designer for the Project outlined below.

Southend-on-Sea Borough Council owns a large number of back land and underused garage sites within the Southend area. Following an in-depth Feasibility Study of 32 of these sites, the Council opted to push forward with an affordable house building programme. Phases One and 2 have been completed, delivering 34 affordable rented dwellings. Phases 3 and 4 have now been identified:

•Phase 3 of the HRA Land Review Project consists of the redevelopment of 5 underutilised garage sites in the east of the borough, within the Shoeburyness Ward

•Phase 4 consists of 3 sites within Lundy Close estate within the St Laurence ward, utilising areas of land to the east of the housing estate bordering the industrial estate.

The projected Construction Budgets are £4.9m for Phase 3, and £6.1m for Phase 4, totalling £11.1m. The key objective of this procurement process is to appoint an Employer's Agent (including Quantity Surveyor) and Principal Designer to take both Phases from RIBA Design Stage One through to stage 7 (subject to the Lead Architect securing planning permission (RIBA Design Stage 3)). The Construction Budgets maybe subject to change.
