How to win: Convent Way Estate Regeneration

About this contract

London Borough of Hounslow intends to undertake a Soft Market Engagement (SME) exercise in advance of a formal procurement for a Development / Investment Partner to deliver the comprehensive regeneration of the Convent Way Estate. • The Council is progressing a redesigned masterplan for approximately 550-568 homes, including full reprovision of 250 existing social rent homes, additional social rent units, shared equity homes, and later phase market housing. The scheme will be delivered across up to five phases, supported by a revised hybrid planning application and a phased CPO strategy. • The Council will also explore tendering interim capital works (roof and concrete repairs, estimated value up to £5m) alongside the main regeneration procurement. • This notice is issued solely to notify the market of the upcoming SME and to invite interested organisations to complete an Expression of Interest (EOI) via the Council's e tendering portal (ProContract / Due North). • Participation in SME does not form part of any future evaluation.
