11.1.4) Short description: Torfaen County Borough Council (the Council) is seeking expressions of interest from economic operators for the redevelopment of the site known as The British, Talywain (the British).
The Council acquired the site in 2016 and has approved a vision for the site based around 8 investment objectives
IO1: Appropriately managing historic health and safety risks
IO2: Strengthening the aspirations of communities to provide opportunities for future generations
IO3: Supporting health and wellbeing goals by improving green infrastructure and promoting access to the natural environment

IO5: Unlocking opportunities for private/third sector investment, jobs & growth
IO6: Unlocking opportunities for future housing development
IO7: Unlocking opportunities for latent green energy
IO8: Protecting and promoting heritage and culture
In pursuit of this vison, the Council is now seeking innovative proposals for the British which deliver against these objectives whilst being cognizant of the overarching objective to “clean and green” the site including the physical remediation of the sites hazards remaining from its coal mining and other industrial history.
Proposals are anticipated in the following areas:
(i) For green/renewable energy opportunities including wind and solar etc, interested economic operators will be taken through a competitive procedure with negotiation. Economic operators to identify specific location required; and/or
(ii) To provide sustainable business, innovation and employment opportunities such as horticultural, forestry, agricultural or aquaculture
(iii) Leisure/tourism (trekking and trails; walks; mountain bike facilities; visitor facilities)
Proposals for mineral extraction or residential development will not be considered.
Any and all propositions must include benefits for the local community, such as (but not limited to) charity and/or group financial support, allotments; trekking and trails; walks; mountain bike routes and other leisure facilities, public accessibility and enhancement of the historic nature of the area.
Economic operators can express interest in specific or discrete parts of the site or the whole site. Officers can discuss the different areas of the site in more detail upon request.
The works and/or services may be delivered under an innovative partnership or other joint venture arrangement and/or discrete contracts may be delivered via competitive procedure with negotiation. The contractual arrangements to be entered into between the Council and the economic operator may include a financial or other return to the Council in exchange for the use of the site by the economic operator.
The Council has committed to specific limited remediation activities at the site over the next few years. Details provided on request.
Economic operators engaged to deliver projects on the site will seek or provide their own funding for the whole of the project. No assistance is offered by the Council.
Economic operators are to rely solely on their own due diligence.
The Council is seeking long term arrangements with the successful economic operators.
Torfaen is looking to commission care and support at two extra care schemes, Ty George Lansbury and Ty Cae Nant, located in Cwmbran, Torfaen CBC. Services have previously been commissioned separately via two distinct competitive tendering processes but on this occasion the Council is looking to secure a single service provider working across both services. Specifically, the successful care and support provider will provide to tenants planned and responsive personal care during the day, planned and responsive personal care during the night in the form of waking night provision and potentially support for individuals who require emergency short term accommodation at the schemes. The levels of support required vary across the two schemes and is obviously dependent on the needs of the individuals.
The Housing Support Grant Programme in Torfaen provides sorely needed assistance to the most vulnerable people in our communities. Funded through the Welsh Government’s Housing Support Grant and managed by Torfaen County Borough Council the programme funds a range of Housing Related Support services to meet the needs of our communities.
We are seeking to commission for a Hoarding Support Service. The service will be a Housing Related Support service that offers practical advice and support to adults with hoarding and property condition difficulties.
The service will provide support to people who are motivated to clear their possessions to:
· Make their home and community safer,
· Enable repairs and adaptations to be carried out,
· Move into more appropriate accommodation,
· Enable hospital discharge,
· Access primary/secondary health services, as appropriate,
· Make strategies and plans to minimise the build-up of clutter,
· Access benefits & grants,
· Understand how to budget,
· Liaise with their landlord, Environmental Health teams, Social and Health Services as needed.
This will be an opportunity for providers of young persons' supported housing and housing-related support services to contribute to the delivery of 16+ services in Torfaen. The Council will be seeking to commission a service that provides a clear pathway of support to meet changing needs and allow access to appropriate levels of provision for young people aged 16–24 years.
