Sevenoaks District Council has begun procurement for a development partner to lead a \u00a3125m regeneration scheme in the town centre.<\/p>\n

The project will deliver a new leisure centre and a residential-led mixed-use development on land east of Sevenoaks High Street in Kent.<\/p>\n

The successful bidder will also be expected to improve public space and pedestrian links between the High Street and Knole Park.<\/p>\n

The council issued a tender notice last week using the new competitive flexible procedure under the Procurement Act 2023.<\/p>\n

The chosen development partner will carry out works and services between January 2026 and January 2030.<\/p>\n

Feasibility studies and a preliminary masterplan were completed in February this year.<\/p>\n

However, bidders are invited to put forward their own design proposals.<\/p>\n

The redevelopment aims to attract investment to Sevenoaks town centre, which the council described as in need of revitalisation to help sustain its role as a market town.<\/p>\n

A market engagement exercise was conducted in February, targeting 11 firms identified as specialists in town-centre regeneration.<\/p>\n

Responses to the engagement, including from developers previously consulted in 2022 and 2023, have shaped the procurement strategy and award criteria.<\/p>\n

Quality will account for 55 per cent of the evaluation, financial criteria 35 per cent and legal compliance 10 per cent.<\/p>\n

Up to three bidders will be shortlisted for the tender stage, with a fourth invited if scores are close.<\/p>\n

Interested parties must submit requests to participate by midday on 20 June via the MyTenders portal. A contract award decision is expected by January 2026.<\/p>\n

The estimated contract value is \u00a3125m, including VAT.<\/p>\n

Sevenoaks District Council is acting as client.<\/p>\n
