Description

Luton Borough Council is looking to engage qualified organisations to quote for a set of three outline design concepts and their associated cost plans in order that Luton Council can deliver on the Specification, attached. The tender will suit a cross functional organisation with strong Quantity Surveyor and/or Cost Consultant capability.
The outputs from this work will feed into a feasibility study the council is carrying out about options for this piece of land. If successful, outputs from this work will be used in a Full Business Case that will be presented to Luton Borough Council's Executive.
It is therefore imperative that costs being provided are accurate so that an investment decision can be made.
There are three main drivers for this piece of work.
1.
Linking up important sections of the town centre to 'stitch' them together as set out in the Masterplan - from the train station to St George's Square via the Hat District. This will open up the route from the train station to St George's Square and enable the Cultural District to extend further westwards and bring buildings into the Hat District. The route includes the University of Bedfordshire's School of Arts and Creative Industries (the old Alexon building).
2.
Providing parking for a range of vehicles in this area of town to support leisure offers such as those provided at the neighbouring Galaxy leisure destination.
3.
Providing space for sustainable transport parking in the town centre, such as bicycles, eScooters, and EV charging stations. This demand is currently underserved This means that the development will need to be mix of access routes and also a multi-modal parking facility. There might also be opportunities for bringing other uses into the development at the ground level if it supports the extension of the Hat District.
ALL DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE ON THE PROCONTRACT PORTAL.
Please note the deadline has been extended until 10am on Wednesday 04 December 2024.
The clarification deadline will now be Friday 29 November 2024 at 12 noon.
