In plain English
Thurrock Council wants a main building contractor to redevelop the Broxburn Drive site in South Ockendon, delivering 33 affordable homes with landscaping and parking. The estimated value is about £13 million, and the work is procured in two stages: first a pre-construction phase for planning and design, then the full build.
What the buyer wants
• Act as principal contractor, taking overall responsibility for designing and building the 33 homes, landscaping and parking. • Take part in a pre-construction phase to develop the design, programme and price before the main build starts. • Deliver the full build under the JCT Design & Build Contract 2024 with the council's amendments, meeting the agreed cost, timescale and quality standards.
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
The £13 million value, the requirement to act as principal contractor with in-house design and build capability, and the likely minimum turnover and track record thresholds set out in the tender documents would exclude most small firms unless they bid as part of a larger consortium.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
