Description

Hampshire County Council (HCC) seeks to understand through this Notice, the market's interest in, and the options available for, the procurement of a Registered (Housing) Provider to design, develop and operate an Older Persons' Extra Care Housing scheme on part of the former Oak Park site in Havant. HCC have previously tendered the opportunity for the delivery of a Health and Wellbeing Campus on the Oak Park site, which included a Nursing Home, Extra Care Housing, and Supported Housing development. The project has now been simplified, and it is proposed the site is redeveloped for two standalone developments of a Nursing Home (delivered by HCC), and an Older Persons' Extra Care Housing scheme (delivered by a Registered (Housing) Provider). This Notice relates to the Older Persons' Extra Care Housing scheme only. HCC would like to invite interested Registered (Housing) Providers to a market engagement meeting on Monday 20 November 2023 at 11:00 via Microsoft Teams. The meeting will review the current scope and delivery strategy for the proposed scheme. The Council will also provide a general overview of the bid process and current procurement timeframes. In the week commencing 20 November 2023 Registered (Housing) Providers are also able to book in a 1:1 meeting via Microsoft Teams or in-person with HCC officers to further discuss the proposals. Registered (housing) Providers should register their interest via the Council e-tendering portal, Intend, using the correspondence function to advise of the names, positions and e-mail addresses of the delegates to be invited to Microsoft Teams meetings. Any questions arising from the day will be posted via the clarification function on Intend. For details of the opportunity proposed, Registered (Housing) Providers are invited to review the following supporting information via Intend: • Project Brief • Technical Information • Design Standards • Feedback Questionnaire

Total Quantity or Scope

The Havant Extra Care site comprises part of the site formerly known as Oak Park in Havant. The site has previously been considered for a wholly externally delivered Health & Wellbeing campus, comprising a Nursing Home, Extra Care Housing, and Supported Housing. It is now proposed that the Oak Park site is developed for two separate but related projects, with HCC delivering a new HCC owned and managed 100-bedded dementia Nursing Home in the northern portion of the site, and a Registered (Housing) Provider designing, developing and operating an Older Persons' Extra Care Housing scheme in the south eastern portion of the site. The planning and delivery strategy for the overall site will be considered on a comprehensive basis but the projects will be the subject of separate but related planning applications and delivery models. Development of the two sites will remain separate so that neither scheme is reliant on the other. The Extra Care Housing development is expected to cost in the region of £15 million. As set out in the Project Brief, this current opportunity is to design, develop and operate an Extra Care Housing scheme on the following terms: • Lease the site for 250 years at a peppercorn rent • Design, build and operate an Older Persons' Extra Care Housing Scheme of c.50 affordable housing apartments • The units to be either Affordable Rent or Social Rent tenure (as defined by the NPPF), ensuring that the total rent, including Service Charges, are affordable to the potential residents. HCC have a preference for Social Rent tenure due to affordability, however Registered (Housing) Providers would be able to bid on both tenure bases. • A mix of 1 and 2 bed apartments with the aim of achieving an approximate 75% 1-bed 2-person and 25% 2-bed 3-person mix • A minimum of 15% of apartments to be M4(3) 2-bed 3-person located on the ground floor, with the remaining units to be M4(2) 'Plus' (as defined by the HCC Design Standards) • Design the scheme having regard to the Technical Information document provided as part of the tender pack • Design the scheme in full accordance with the Design Standards document provided as part of the tender pack • Provide sufficient communal space to accommodate the facilities you would normally expect from Extra Care, such as communal areas and restaurant services • Deliver the Extra Care apartments on the site in a way that offers the most financially advantageous development for both the bidder and HCC, whilst taking full account of the legal documentation, planning constraints, and Design Standards requirements Whilst it is envisaged that most of the cost of developing the scheme would be financed by the selected Registered (Housing) Provider, due to HCC's requirement for the scheme to be delivered as Affordable Housing, it is possible that gap funding would be required to be provided by HCC in order to make the scheme viable. Homes England have grant funding available to support the delivery of Extra Care schemes which would also be drawn on by the Registered (Housing) Provider.
