Summary of the contracting process

The Sovereign Housing Association Limited is initiating a public procurement process titled "Expression of Interest - Empire Fighting Chance (EFC)" under the planning stage. This procurement is focused on the construction industry, specifically classified under CPV code 45000000. The relevant location for this project is The Mill Youth Centre, Lower Ashley Road, Easton, Bristol, BS5 0YJ. The process is currently in the planning stage with an engagement end date set for 24 October 2024. Key milestones include the delivery of 38 homes and a new basketball court, which will be named after Marlon Thomas. Sovereign Housing acquired the land via a 999-year lease from Empire Fighting Chance, a Bristol-based charity aimed at supporting young people affected by deprivation through non-contact boxing and personal support.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in both the construction industry and those specialising in social housing projects. Companies that are SMEs or VCSEs will find this project particularly accessible. The initiative to construct new homes and community facilities like the basketball court, geared towards rental and shared ownership, provides a substantial growth opportunity for businesses looking to expand their portfolio in residential projects with an associated community focus. The project not only aims to develop physical infrastructure but also to contribute to social value through supporting a charity that benefits young people in the region.
