II.2.4) Description of the procurement
This procurement is for Development Management services to Sefton Council (the developer) in respect of Phase 1 of the Bootle Strand Shopping Centre Transformation Programme (the Project). The Development Manager will be required to manage all aspects of the development works for the following:
Management of the Phase 1 main works:
- RIBA Stage 2-7 for demolition of c. 6,000m2 of existing shopping centre; creation of new landscaped public realm that extends and enhances an existing entertainment and outdoor F&B facilities; refurbishment of space in one large existing building; creation of new landscaped public realm forming a new Town Square.
- Also RIBA Stage 1-3 for pre-construction work (design and planning) for the proposed repurposing of a second building to be implemented later in the programme to provide new 'shell and core' space that will be flexible for a variety of uses and occupiers.
Management of Phase 1 enabling works from RIBA Stage 1-7 – principally for:
- Works to improve the retained Retail Core to retain existing and attract new tenants during the disruption of the works;
- Works required within the centre that are not within the scope of Phase 1 but which are required to enable effective on-going operations for areas of the still operational shopping centre adjoining the Phase 1 works, such as redirecting services, security and safety systems and the relocation of the public WCs;
- Works to deliver ‘white-box’ upgrades to secure new priority tenants for whom the capital cost of full fit out from shell and core would be prohibitive.
The Development Manager must also ensure the works are delivered in a fully integrated and coordinated way with the existing Asset Manager responsible for day-to-day operational management of the Strand shopping centre, which must continue to trade during the Project to provide important local amenities and generate revenue for the Council, which requires seamless collaboration between the Asset Manager and the Development Manager. At the same time they will be enabling completion of the Project within the aggressive programme timeframes prescribed by the grant funding providers.

Section IV: Procedure
IV.1) Description
IV.1.1) Type of procedure
Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition
Justification for selected award procedure:
The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason: protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights
Explanation
Ellandi is the only economic operator who can provide the development management services to the required specification on the basis that they have two exclusive rights:
A. The right to continue as the Asset Manager under their pre-existing contract, which services must be provided in an enhanced way, integrated with the development management services, in order to enable the successful delivery of the works. The works must be delivered in a fully integrated and coordinated way with the existing Asset Manager responsible for day-to-day operational management of the Strand shopping centre, which must continue to trade during the Project to provide important local amenities and generate revenue for the Council. A joint Asset Manager and the Development Manager provides the sole way to safely achieve this goal to meet the needs of the Council. Ellandi has a pre-existing contract as Asset Manager which cannot be exited early.
B. They have intellectual property rights to material input provided to the project to date (originally arising pursuant to their role as Asset Manager), which rights have not transferred to the Council.
Ellandi’s input, the intellectual property rights for which remain with Ellandi, provides essential components of the Project outputs to date, the removal of which would require revision of the RIBA Stage 2 Report (and potentially planning application) resulting in significant delay to the Project, which threatens funding to the Project, and additional cost for which funding is not available.
