The employer鈥檚 agent services lot has the highest value at 拢7.1m, with the architectural services lot valued at 拢4.3m and the remaining two lots valued at 拢1.1m each. The deadline for expressions of interest is 8 October.

The housing association, which works mostly in Liverpool, Warrington and St Helens, manages 40,000 homes.

Its 拢13m extra care scheme in St Helens, Foundry Wharf, has been delayed due to the collapse of the scheme鈥檚 main contractor Cruden in July. Torus is yet to announce a new contractor for the scheme.

Last year the housing association purchased Liverpool Football Club鈥檚 former Melwood training ground, and is currently taking an affordable housing scheme planned for the 5ha site to consultation.

Torus is set to redevelop a former warehouse at Liverpool鈥檚 Stanley Dock into a scheme (pictured) featuring over 200 homes and commercial space.
