What the notice says
The London Borough of Merton (the “Council”) is conducting a Preliminary Market Engagement (“PME”) exercise, to inform the planned procurement of a Development Partner for three sites within Morden Town Centre:
• Abbotsbury Triangle
• The Civic Centre
• Kenley Road Car Park
The programme envisages the delivery of a comprehensive regeneration programme that will transform Morden into a thriving mixed-use destination, comprising in excess of 1,500 mixed-tenure homes (including new and replacement affordable housing), a new Civic Hub, enhanced retail, leisure and commercial space, and extensive public realm improvements. The Council is seeking a long-term development partner to help unlock Morden’s significant growth potential and deliver lasting economic, social and environmental value.
The purpose of this PME is to share detail and, where relevant, seek feedback on:
• The strategic proposition and vision for Morden Town Centre;
• Land assembly approach;
• Approach to affordable housing;
• Procurement process; and
• Commercial arrangements and appointment.
This PME notice is not a call for competition.
