Procurement/Land Sale
In R (Midlands Co-Operative Society Ltd) v Birmingham City Council [2012] EWHC 620 (Admin) Hickinbottom J held (1) that a land disposal by the Council to Tesco did not engage the public procurement regime, because there was no commitment by Tesco, legally enforceable by the Council, to perform relevant works, either in a Section 106 agreement or at all; and (2) that the Council had achieved the best consideration outcome required by LGA 1972 s123.
