Overview

Following your response to the Registration of Interest and Invitation to Participate processes, Nelson City Council (We or Council) is now seeking Proposals from qualifying interested parties to acquire some or all of its 142 community housing units at nine locations around the city (Community Housing Assets).

Subject to the terms of this RFP, Council may select one or more preferred Respondents with whom to seek to negotiate sale and purchase agreement(s) and a memorandum of understanding (MOU). The MOU is not intended to be a formal legal document but is intended to record the parties’ shared objectives and expectations for the future of the Community Housing Assets.

The purchaser or purchasers must:
(a) be a Community Housing Provider that is registered with the Community Housing Regulatory Authority (CHP), or government agency; and
(b) have a local presence in the Nelson district; or
(c) be a consortium which meets both of the above requirements.

As set out in the ROI, Council seeks to sell its Community Housing Assets to one or more providers who can upgrade and expand the housing stock. As well as your plans for the existing tenants and Community Housing Assets (including upgrading or redeveloping the properties), your Proposal should clearly set out a purchase price. The plans for the existing tenants and Community Housing Assets will form the basis for the MOU to be agreed contemporaneously with any sale and purchase agreement.

Council is looking to achieve a balance between securing the wellbeing of current and future tenants (by its choice of purchaser and through the shared expectations and objectives expressed by the parties in the MOU) and obtaining the highest price for its Community Housing Assets.
This is a unique opportunity to buy a community housing portfolio with potential to be expanded and upgraded. Our vision is for Nelson to grow its supply of social housing so more of our community can access this service.
