Find previous reports here.

For those who have asked, here is a brief history of these schemes -

1)In March 2006, Cabinet granted approval to proceed to tender for selection of developer partners for the following estates:

Colville Estate
Kings Crescent Estate
Tower Court, Alexander National House, Randlesham, Ottaway Court, Bridge & Marian Courts (the Six Estates)

2) Seven Developer/RSLs were shortlisted and received tender documentations on 4th September. Tenders were returned on 27th November 2006.

3) In October groups of residents representatives and councillors visited development sites/completed schemes of the shortlisted candidates.

4) Tenders have been assessed on the basis of agreed evaluation criteria. The Evaluation Panel assessing the quality of tender submissions comprised resident representatives from each estate supported by their independent tenant and leaseholder advisors (ITLA), and officers with expert knowledge in different areas such as planning and construction training.

5) Financial viability assessment was carried out separately and independently.

6) This was followed by interview of, and presentations by, all bidders which took place on 12th and 13th December 2006.

7) Further meetings with residents’ representatives and their ITLAs are being arranged.

8) The selection process will be finalised shortly and a report will be submitted to the meeting of the Cabinet in February for decision.
