Terms

Kent County Council, the current owner, have taken the decision to invite fully developed bids for the future of the site on an all enquiries basis.

This includes sale/lease and leaseback proposals which would address the building's condition issues and allow for the library service to reoccupy a smaller footprint within the site. Details of spatial requirements are available from the agent.

Bids are also invited on a pure sale / lease perspective which do not involve the reoccupation by the library service.

Bids will be assessed against the County Council's adopted disposal policy, asset management strategy and statutory requirements.

Any proposals involving reoccupation by the library service will also be considered against:

1) Service requirements (location, spatial provision, and partnership potential).
2) The ongoing financial liability to KCC including the risks associated with any assumptions.

All bids will be assessed against their deliverability. We encourage all bidders to clearly articulate any assumptions, risks, and mitigations.

While bids are being invited for the site Kent County Council reserves the right to select the successful bidder based on assessment against relevant criteria or to not select any bidder.
