Bristol Temple Quarter Regeneration Project - Development Partner

Description

The transformation of Bristol Temple Quarter is one of Europe’s largest city centre regeneration projects. It aims to create 10,000 new homes, thousands of new jobs and bring £1.6bn annually to the city economy. The delivery of Bristol Temple Quarter is underpinned by a long-standing partnership between Bristol City Council, Homes England, Network Rail and the West of England Combined Authority (the “BTQ Partners”). This Prior Information Notice is published by the West of England Combined Authority on behalf of itself and the other BTQ Partners. A Joint Delivery Vehicle (“JDV”) will be created to formalise the relationship between the partners and establish a single entity to drive forward the comprehensive regeneration of the area. Following the formation of the JDV in early 2024, it is intended that the JDV will be the contracting authority that undertakes the procurement process for a potential development partner and contracts with the successful bidder. This Prior Information Notice is not a call for competition and is being issued to provide advance notice of the potential forthcoming development partner opportunity. Lot 1: With a refurbished Bristol Temple Meads station at its heart, the Bristol Temple Quarter regeneration project aims to establish the area as a world-class gateway to Bristol and the West of England that reflects and enhances the heritage of Brunel’s Grade I listed station. A number of development sites around the station are currently in public ownership and offer the opportunity to deliver significant housing, commercial space and placemaking in a well-connected, central location. More general detail on the wider project can be found on the website for the wider Bristol Temple Quarter area: https://www.bristoltemplequarter.com/ Working collaboratively, the BTQ Partners’ ambition is to create thriving, well-connected, mixed communities that help tackle the housing, climate and ecological emergencies, boost the economy, and make the city-region fit for the 21st century. The JDV will be seeking a development partner that shares these aspirations to deliver exemplar placemaking to transform Bristol Temple Quarter and deliver socially inclusive growth for the wider community.
