Description

The City of Wolverhampton Council has recently formed a Housing Company to drive delivery of new housing development in the Wolverhampton area. This is a high profile activity for the Council, and the selection of appropriate partners is critical to its success.

This requirement relates to the first phase of Housing Company activity and any resulting contract will be with the City of Wolverhampton Housing Company Limited, trading as WV Living'.

The City of Wolverhampton Housing Company Limited intends to bring forward a number of sites for residential development for which Employer's Agent services will be required to progress the schemes from feasibility stage through to completion of the defects period.

Delivery of good quality, cost effective housing is key to achieving the Client's aspirations.

The City of Wolverhampton Housing Company Limited's business case for new housing is reliant upon achieving a capital return on investment from market sale properties which is necessary to support delivery of the social/affordable housing.

The City of Wolverhampton Housing Company Limited's indicative development timetable provides for the overall following milestone dates:

1) Submission of planning applications from November 2016.
2) Achieving planning approval early in 2017.
3) Start of works construction around April/May 2017.
4) First sales units handed over December 2017.
5) Delivery of units for sale on each site at a rate of 4 units per month.

It should be noted it is the intention that this requirement for Employer Agent Services will be awarded to a single supplier who will be responsible for the delivery of the entire works.

The Consultant will be required to have sufficient capacity to provide Employer's Agent Services for all sites simultaneously.
