Total Quantity or Scope

The scope of this procurement is for the provision of specialist, property management and portfolio development services aligned to the Thames Tideway Tunnel property portfolio. The Thames Tideway Tunnel will be a 16 mile tunnel running mostly under the tidal section of the River Thames through central London. Started in 2016, construction of the Thames Tideway Tunnel aimed to take seven to 8 years with all work completed by 2024. The sites acquired by Thames Water to enable the construction of the Thames Tideway Tunnel were mostly substantial residential development sites. These land deals included high market values and, in some cases, included complex pre-emption, buy back and overage options. The key outcomes of this engagement will be to ensure (from a property perspective) that Thames Water can fully comply with ET06 and ET07 and that hand back and disposal, where relevant, of sites can be achieved by the necessary dates and that the operation of Public Realm sites are returned to Thames Water as agreed. Full detail of ET06 and ET07 can be found in OFWAT’s final determination paper for Thames Tideway Tunnel at the following link: https://www.ofwat.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/PR19-final-determinations-Th... In total there are c.27 sites made up of c.88 parcels of land, this includes five principle disposal sites and c.14 areas of Public Realm. Activities that we expect to be supported by this procurement could include (but are not limited to): — maximising value creation; — land disposals and sales; — long term value creation (yield opportunities); — acquisitions; — valuation support and project appraisal; — public realm (Thames Tideway Public Realm comprises of a handful of very prominent and iconic sites for public use); — specific lease agreement management (see PQQ documentation for more information); — rent and licence fee reviews; — strategic initiatives; — planning and development planning; — internal asset transfers; — alternative land use; — compulsory purchase advice; — identifying other potential income stream; — interaction and engagement management with key stakeholders such as GLA, PLA, EA etc. Successful organisations should have a proven track record in property management and portfolio development services with an experienced, dedicated workforce to deliver the activities mentioned above. We expect successful organisations to operate as an integrated member of the Thames Water Property team, providing services and presence within the Thames Water offices in Reading and the Thames Tideway offices in central London (recommend 2 days per week unless agreed otherwise). For the avoidance of doubt the scope for this procurement does not include facilities management. Thames Tideway Tunnel property portfolio is broken down as follows: — 5 principal disposal sites where our requirement is to carry out disposal within a mandated timescale whilst maximising value in line with our obligations under ET06 and ET07 regulations; — 14 public realm sites that we wish to explore revenue opportunities for, including community use, reputational retention and value creation; — 8 various other hand back sites where we must again comply with out ET06 and ET07 obligations whilst considering maximised value and retention options to Thames Water. Scope detail for this lot has been included in our PQQ documentation.
