We are seeking expressions of interest from the market from suitably experienced and funded potential purchasers.

It is likely that the Council will then pursue a disposal of the property, via informal tender, to a shortlist of interested parties, in due course.

The Council reserves the right not to pursue a sale nor to accept the highest or any offer received in the event an informal tender process is initiated.

Expressions of interest should be submitted using the Expressions of Interest Proforma available in the dataroom.

A guidance document, also available in the dataroom, provides further instructions on the basis of the proposals to be submitted and the supporting information to be provided.

Please note that interested parties will be required to submit high level scheme/end use proposals, confirmation of funding, evidence of track record of similar projects and indicative high level gross financial proposals as part of their expression of interest proposal.
