Bournemouth Hotel Training School Development on West Cliff, Bournemouth

Descriptions

The Council is the freehold owner of adjoining sites; one known as the former Winterbourne Hotel and the Beacon Road Public Car Park (together "the Site").The Council wished to promote the development of the Site to construct a hotel with a minimum of 180 bedrooms of which a minimum of 120 must be 4-star quality rooms (with additional rooms being 3-star quality)("the Hotel Training School"). The local planning authority has granted planning permission on these sites for a 200-bedroom training hotel with Planning Reference: 7-2015-4917-N.The Council ran a procurement process following the open procedure to appoint a developer and operator (the Tenderer) to deliver the Hotel Training School. This process did not result in suitable tenders (as explained in more detail below). The Council therefore used a negotiated procedure to identify a successful Tenderer from those bidders involved in the original procurement process. The Council now intends to award a contract to that Tenderer.
