UK-Croydon: research and development services and related consultancy services
The London Borough of Croydon invites suitable expressions of interest from providers to supply a spatial master planning and development service for the Mid Croydon area. The regeneration of the Mid Croydon area is necessary to support the emerging Mayoral policy which supports Croydon as a key place for delivering the potential of Outer London and the emerging Croydon Core Strategy, which recognises options for the intensification of Croydon Metropolitan Centre (CMC) and the need for high quality public realm and enhanced facilities and amenities. Along with the other masterplans, the Mid Croydon masterplan will be delivery focussed and will form the basis of an Opportunity Area Planning Framework (OAPF) for the CMC. The commission will cover the following related strands: The spatial element will include urban design, public realm, form of development, distribution of uses, environmental services, transport and movement A development viability appraisal Procurement proposals for developer/s Land Assembly and Compulsory Purchase advice Funding is in place to take the project up to the end of the spatial masterplan preparation (expected to be completed by 31.3.2011) funding for further phases is dependent on local authority budget preparation for 2011-12, but it is intended to see the project through to completion. Please note this is OJEU Restricted Accelerated procedure.
