This procurement specifically relates to development of the former Wareham Middle School site, on Worgret Road in Wareham. However, Dorset Council owns other sites in Wareham and wishes to reserve the right to appoint the successful tenderer to carry out future phases of development as part of this contract opportunity. Future phases would be additional residential development, consisting of a mix of market, affordable, and specialist supported housing on other sites owned by Dorset Council within the town of Wareham.

Before deciding to pursue this option, Dorset Council will consider the performance of the Developer to implement and deliver the contract for the Middle School development.
