Description

The University of Birmingham ('the University') would like to procure a Student Housing Partner (SHP) to design, build, finance and operate its Pritchatts Park Village, as part of a stock transfer and new build project (the 'Project'), which should have minimal impact on the University's balance sheet.

The strategic context is that the University wants to increase the number of high-quality, affordable beds, in order to maintain its guarantee to accommodate its growing student population, while at the same time upgrading some of its older stock. The Project is a vital step in providing the facilities to support the forecast growth in student numbers and thereby enhance the attractiveness and reputation of the University.

The University's residential estate comprises 5,183 freehold beds across three villages: The Vale (3,531 beds), Pritchatts Park (734 beds), and Selly Oak (918 beds). The majority of the estate is self-catered, with a catered option at The Vale. There is mix of room types across the estate: mostly standard and en-suite rooms, with a smaller number of studios. It also currently has nomination agreements across five private halls (total 1,872 beds). The scope of this Project only includes the University's Pritchatts Park Village. See Section 4 for more details.
