      Kingston University is looking for opportunities to accommodate its students in appropriate and affordable student accommodation and which includes a managed service(s) provision delivered by the accommodation provider. The provider will be responsible for managing hard FM services such as building fabric and services maintenance and repair to the property.

      For all Halls of residences there are a range of other services which need to be provided and these include, but are not limited to, preparation of building, rooms, and common areas for arrival of students, management of the arrival and induction of students, fully manned out of hours service provision, cleaning of communal areas, deep cleaning, security of the building, hall management services, Tenancy Management Services, provision of pastoral care and welfare. It is possible for the accommodation provider to supply all or some of these managed student services with the University providing the remaining managed services directly.

      In principle the University will look to increase the number of units available to students as a consequence of the outcome of this procedure within a limit of 1,500 units. The University may make multiple contract awards to one or more bidders in order to meet its requirements.

      The proposed property/properties should be complete and ready for occupation by (or before) early September 2013.

      The bidders accommodation is likely to be purpose built and available under an occupation agreement (e.g. lease or nomination agreement). The University has a strong preference for properties of around 200 units and upwards.

      The University has a preference for properties within a 30 minute travel time to one of the Kingston University teaching campuses at Kingston Hill, Penrhyn Road, Knights Park, and Roehampton Vale via regular public transport, bicycle, or walking, AND which fall within a five mile radius of central Kingston upon Thames, as measured from Kingston Station (National Rail), postcode KT1 1UJ.

      This contract opportunity does not include scope for dialogue on land and property development options, or property lease options without hard FM services such as building fabric and services maintenance and repair as referred to above. Those options, where pursued, will be procured through separately managed procedures as and when executed.

      For further information about the broader Student Accommodation Strategy, and other procurements or phases associated with other options for the acquisition of additional accommodation which are being considered, please refer to the previously published Prior Information Notice, and University Information Notice, at the following link.
