The City of Edinburgh Council (the Council) is seeking to appoint a Development Partner to take forward a development opportunity at Liberton, Edinburgh.
The Development Partner will be required to:
- Deliver a mixed tenure scheme of around 388 homes (including private, social rent and mid-market rent) to the Council’s design guidance within timescales approved during the pre-development period including the refurbishment or façade retention of the Edwardian Hospital;
- Deliver commercial or community space with active frontages at appropriate ground floor locations throughout;
- Deliver high quality public realm of adoptable standard throughout the site, including the reinstatement of the Victorian Garden;
- Deliver high quality transport and active travel options throughout the site;
- Delivery of a  low carbon energy solution
- Maintain and enhance community engagement and support consultation.
The residential development must comply with the principle of tenure blind development. The Development Partner will be required to pay a price to the Council for the private residential development opportunities. The capital receipt will be agreed during the pre-development period, however, a viable development is mandatory to allow progression to the Development Agreement stage. To ensure that the Council is entering into a Pre-Development Contract which has a high likelihood of project viability, the Council may seek to assess a capital receipt offering at the Invitation to Tender stage. The profits from this development will be retained by the Development Partner, although an overage agreement will be put in place covering exceptional profits.
Further information on the scope of this procurement can be found in the SPD Instruction Document attached to this Contract Notice.

The City of Edinburgh Council (the Council) has purchased the Liberton Hospital site, located in the South East locality on the intersection of Lasswade Road and Ellen’s Glen Road, from NHS Lothian.
The site is approximately 6.5 hectares (4.2 net developable area) in size.
The ambition for the development is to deliver a mixed-use development with around 388 homes, around half of which will be affordable homes, owned by the Council, some of which will be aimed at providing a home with specialist support for older people or those with accessibility needs. The development also includes a requirement to refurbish or retain the façade of the old Edwardian Liberton hospital building and assess the viability of retaining the 1960s hospital building.
The Council is seeking to procure a Development Partner with the necessary skills, experience and capacity to deliver an exemplar development. This opportunity to work with the Council, initially over an 18-month period as part of a two stage Pre-Development contract has been devised as part of the Council’s procurement strategy to reduce the burden of tendering as much as possible on Candidates and to encourage collaboration, innovation, risk apportionment, and partnership between the Council and the Development Partner prior to entering into a Development Agreement.
As a Candidate, you will be experienced and capable of delivering complex regeneration and mixed tenure development projects of similar scale and nature. Your team will be multi-disciplinary and consist of the Development Partner, full design team services, construction contractors and specialist expertise in areas such as sustainability and modern methods of construction. You will identify opportunities for working with the local community and Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs), creating new jobs and stimulating the local economy.
The gross development value is projected at GBO90million - GBP120million.

rationale:
Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: NHS Agenda for Change Pay uplift:
Nationally, a one year pay award for NHS staff on Agenda for Change T+Cs was agreed commencing from 1st April 2024.
In previous years the funding for commissioned NHS services with eligible staff was paid to providers by the ICB with local authorities receiving the funding and obligation to pass this on in subsequent years. However, from this year (2024-25) the pay award funding to meet this pay award was re-directed to local authorities, and now forms part of the PH Grant.
Work has been undertaken jointly between commissioners, contract lead, finance and provider services to assess the financial impact on services. Now that a review of evidence to account for incurred costs by the provider has been completed, we need to vary the contract by the provider costs attributed to this uplift to pass through the funding. The total of this increase for 2024/25 and all subsequent years of this contract is £125,091.58 per year, in total this is £750,549.48. Therefore the new lifetime value of the contract is £20,281,149.48
To note, there has been no change in the length and scope of the contract.

periodRationale:
The contract length remains unchanged, 4 years initial term, with further extension options of 2 years. Nationally, a one year pay award for NHS staff on Agenda for Change T+Cs was agreed commencing from 1st April 2024.
The new lifetime value of the contract is £20,281,149.48

Detail of Decision Makers:
This contract modification has been put forward by the Contract Manager in accordance with the NHS Agenda for Change Pay uplift and approved by the Divisional Director along with internal Strategic Procurement Panel approval.

title: Science and Technology Oriented Research and development in Missile defence (STORM)

description:
1 Since the first V2 attack on London in 1944 ballistic missiles have posed a near constant threat to the UK, its overseas interests, and forces. Adversaries continue to invest in and proliferate increasingly advanced ballistic and manoeuvrable threat systems to challenge our freedom of action.
2 The UK Missile Defence Centre (MDC), a unique government-industry partnership within MOD Head Office, is responsible for all UK missile defence Research & Development (R&D). The MDC was established as a government-industry partnership to provide support to decision makers on all aspects of Missile Defence and to provide a pipeline of funding to sustain SQEP in relevant UK industry sectors. Through continuing implementation of the 2020 MOD Science & Technology (S&T) Strategy, the Missile Defence R&D category must sustain, exploit, and develop UK industrial and academic expertise to continue to develop next generation and generation after next technologies applicable to Integrated Air and Missile Defence.
3 The Missile Defence R&D Category Strategy, approved in May 2023, recommended creation of a new route to market bringing together core research and technology maturation projects into a single contract, enhancing research outcomes and supply chain efficiency. The contract shall manage delivery of research covering all activities to counter ballistic missiles and advanced threats including but not limited to simple non-separating threats, complex separating threats, Manoeuvring Re-Entry Vehicles (MaRVs) and Multiple Independently Targetable Re-Entry Vehicles (MIRVs), Hypersonic Glide Vehicles (HGVs), Hypersonic Cruise Missiles (HCM) and hybrid threats which share characteristics with BM, HGV and/or HCM. The research required will cover analysis, experimentation, trials and technology/system development across all pillars of missile defence:
• Counter-proliferation - measures to minimise the spread of missile technology,
• Deterrence - measures to discourage the use of threat missiles,
• Counterforce - measures to reduce the quantity of missiles and supporting equipment / facilities available to an aggressor during a conflict,
• Active defence - measures to detect, track, intercept and disable/destroy missiles in flight,
• Passive defence - measures to mitigate and recover from the effects of threat missiles impacting on their target.
4 The Contractor will be required to work in close co-ordination with the MDC to design and manage a contract pipeline to deliver the Missile Defence R&D category’s research requirements. The pipeline will need to permit large, multi-year research technology maturation projects, multinational and multi-supplier trials, as well as short-term rapid analysis and short-notice access to subject matter expertise to contribute to the rapid provision of advice to decision makers across UK Government. It is envisaged that this will be best delivered with a coordination function co-located with the Missile Defence Centre in Farnborough.

otherTerms:
The successful Contractor will need to hold Facility Security Clearance within three months of contract award
At least 95% of the value of the contract must be delivered by a UK workforce to develop, nurture and sustain UK experience and capabilities in Missile Defence research and development.

Lot 6: Skills Bootcamp in Project Management
•	Number of participants: 70 minimum
•	Level of learning: L3-5

Endemic skill shortages for specialised skills such as project management are constraining firm-level productivity and the performance of the wider economy. With project management skills being advantageous in a broad variety of career paths, occupations utilising these specific skills have seen the fastest growth since pre-pandemic levels.
Under-utilisation of skills is a widespread issue and affected workers need options to re-focus their portfolio of skills to better align with available opportunities.

•	Guided Learning Hours: 60 minimum
The Telehandler is a piece of plant used to move and lift heavy equipment to higher levels, used extensively in new-build and refurbishment projects, in the installation of roofing, cladding and rainscreens and solar panels. This Skills Bootcamp aims to train operatives to a level when they are able to effectively handle the machine, and participants could be co-funded by their employer to upskill, or undertake the course if they are unemployed or self-employed.  The course should deliver practical training, preparation for testing, theory test, and a practical test, with course completion dependent on learners passing the practical, theory and health and safety tests.
Completers should get either a CPCS or NPORS operator card enabling them to operate the telehandler and suspended loads in the construction industry.

Lot 9: Skills Bootcamp in Excavator 360
•	Number of participants: 15 minimum
•	Level of learning: L2-3
•	Guided Learning Hours: 60 minimum
•	Delivery to commence August 2024 onwards
To become a plant operator, individuals need to have successful completion of basic construction training along with specialised excavator training to get their operator cards. Without this card, it will be difficult for individuals to work in the construction industry, no matter where they are based in the UK.
Excavators are one of the most used machines in a building site, for example they are used to level surfaces, so they are suitable to place materials on, dig foundations and lay pipes. Excavating tasks can take place on varying terrain, which is why there is a requirement to obtain a formal qualification before an individual can carry out the work.

Lot 10 - Skills Bootcamp in EWI & Treatments
•	Number of participants: 20 minimum
•	Level of learning: L2-3
•	Guided Learning Hours: 60 minimum
There are over a million homes in West Yorkshire. These homes make up nearly a third of all emissions related to buildings in the region. We estimate that nearly 700,000 of them need energy efficiency measures to be installed. We also need to build new homes in the coming years which are energy efficient and climate change ready.  External wall insulation (EWI) is an integral part of the retrofit and energy saving agenda, through making housing airtight. This Skills Bootcamp will provide an opportunity for existing construction workers to upskill in the new standards and techniques required.
Bidding providers should stipulate the appropriate level, content and delivery methods for this Skills Bootcamp, and demonstrate engagement with industry, specifically construction and housing sector employers, to inform their proposal.

description:
Lot 11 Skills Bootcamp in Glass and Glazing Fenestration
•	Number of participants: 20 minimum
•	Level of learning: L2-3
•	Guided Learning Hours: 60 minimum
The Fenestration, Glass and Glazing industry has over 50 dedicated career paths with opportunities for progression in all.  The industry has an annual turnover of over £4.6 billion and is pivotal to the UK economy. Every building features windows, doors and glass, and glass now features heavily across city skylines.
The fenestration of a building is extremely important to its overall design and can highly affect its performance, from increasing indoor natural light to aiding passive solar heating. Further benefits include providing points for ventilation and air circulation, and producing better indoor air quality. Efficient and well-thought-out fenestration can improve the health and wellbeing of the building’s occupants, boost productivity and reduce energy costs
This course should provide the opportunity for individuals with no industry knowledge or those within the sector who are wanting to upskill, to widen their knowledge and their ability to progress into continuous employment within the sector.

Lot 13: Skills Bootcamp in Web Design & Development
•	Number of participants: 30 minimum
•	Level of learning: L3
•	Guided Learning Hours: 100 minimum
Roles in all areas of website design and development – back-end, front-end and full-stack – continue to be listed as difficult to recruit to by employers across the region, especially as new coding languages evolve. This Skills Bootcamp should utilise regional Labour Market Information and excellent employer and industry links to deliver a course that supports participants who are both experienced in, and new to, Web Design and Development thus enabling positive career progression. Contents should include user experience, customer experience, accessibility, and usability, principles of programming, introduction to coding using appropriate software, problem solving and communication within a tech team setting. Bidding providers should demonstrate how this course can be delivered to reach residents across West Yorkshire in a flexible and accessible way, with clear evidence of how the proposed course contents meet the needs of industry.
