Issue details
GMP Site, Chester Road, Trafford
To facilitate the process to procure a
development partner the Joint Venture will need to appoint
consultants for expert advice in undertaking the process in a
legally compliant way. To date Savills have been appointed to
facilitate the procurement process, whilst Shoosmiths have been
appointed to provide external legal advice on the process. Both
consultants have been appointed using a procurement complaint
process. Funds will be utilised in the future to support the
procurement process further and to finance planning approval. The
regeneration of the GMP site will act as a catalyst for further
redevelopment in the Civic Quarter of Trafford.
Before a private sector development partner is appointed the GMCA
along with Trafford Council will need to finance legal, marketing
and procurement costs. The estimated fee’s will be
approximately £642,500. It was agreed at the Great Manchester
Combined Authority meeting on the 26th November 2021 that these
funds will be underwritten by police and crime reserves
