Description

Greater Manchester Combined Authority is seeking to procure legal services related to the allocation of projects under the GM Brownfield Programme via a further competition under the CCS framework RM6240 - Public Sector Legal Services (lot 2a) Property and Construction specialism. As a relevant framework supplier, you are invited to participate in this further competition.

The GM Brownfield Programme derives from GM's trailblazer devolution deal. As part of this deal, the Department for Levelling up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) have allocated £150 million of Brownfield Infrastructure and Land funding to GM to unlock at least 7,000 new homes. The aim of this funding is to tackle the market's failure to build housing and mixed-use developments on challenging brownfield sites that demonstrate existing negative externalities, difficult land assembly, imperfect information and other market barriers which prevent the private sector taking them on alone. This supports the Government's ambition to prioritise development on brownfield land, particularly for the regeneration of our cities and towns, alongside increasing housing supply and wider growth as part of the Levelling Up Missions and the Government's ambition of delivering 300,000 homes per year to help create a more sustainable and affordable housing market.

Cheshire and Warrington is one of the UK's economic success stories and the most productive economy in the North of England. Enterprise Cheshire and Warrington (ECW), a council-owned organisation, works alongside elected leaders to make the region the healthiest, most sustainable, inclusive, and growing place in the country. We collaborate with the three local councils, industry leaders, and community partners to shape economic and transport strategies, deliver skills training and business support, and ensure that the voice of business is heard in local decision-making. Through its Marketing Cheshire division, ECW also champions the region as an outstanding place to live, work, invest, study, and visit. Working in collaboration with local government, businesses, educational institutes and other public, private and community sector organisations, we keep Cheshire and Warrington firmly on the map. ECW are seeking a consultant(s) to work alongside ourselves and Cheshire West and Chester Council (CWAC), Cheshire East Council (CEC), and Warrington Borough Council (WBC) to conduct an initial high-level Infrastructure and Sustainability assessment at high growth places (c. 10 total areas, to be communicated to the successful bidder) across Cheshire and Warrington. Given a tight budget and timeline, initial work will be constrained to a given number of vectors and available data to enable screening at these locations and provide early evidence ahead of future detailed work. This evidence will inform future work across the subregion, including broader energy planning, Regional Energy Strategic Plan submission development, Local Authority planning, and potential work on a Growth Plan, and Spatial Development Strategy - with the underpinning blockers and opportunities at these key high growth locations clearly noted in advance of further business case development around these sites. The successful bidder will also need to provide a high-level sustainability analysis for the pipeline at each of the high growth places. The Cheshire and Warrington Sustainable and Inclusive Economic Strategy, recently published for consultation, states our ambition to be the most sustainable, inclusive, healthy, and growing place in the UK by 2045. It is vital that new development is carried forward in line with these ambitions, and an early pipeline assessment at each location to better understand impacts on climate and nature is vital to ensure The successful bidder will be required to deliver services in accordance with all tender documents and the contract to be placed with the successful bidder. Tenderers are requested to study the specification in detail and ensure that the specified requirements can be met and thus your understanding of our requirements is reflected in your Pricing Schedule return.
