Roanne – the impact Eden Quarter (Kingston) Scuppered 11-01-08 Full and Lengthy Tender for Digbeth Wholesale Market Scheme 18-04-08 King’s Quarter, Gloucester Delayed By ‘Full Tender’ Judgement 16-05-08 Rochdale tears up £250m Wilson Bowden Scheme 29-08-08
Roanne – the impact (2) • Rethinking existing schemes • Extending application of public procurement process • Delays • Increased costs • All exacerbated by current climate • Are professional advisers helping?
Roanne – what should we do? • The prospect of challenge (from EU or elsewhere makes Councils nervous) • Councils need re-assurance/guidance • This is a job for central Government (CLG and/or OGC) • In the longer term, should we take on the EC? • Need European allies!
A quick fix! Guidance that: • Spells out where LA/developer partnership might require OJEU tender process. • Makes clear that existence of only one credible partner obviates need for OJEU etc. • Allows disproportionate bidding costs as a rationale for no OJEU etc. • Offers support and advice – not complete acquiescence
