Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by North East Lincolnshire Borough Council, located in Grimsby, sought a development partner for the Alexandra Dock area. The awarded contract, titled "Development Partner/s for Alexandra Dock in Grimsby," falls under the construction industry category with a CPV code of 45000000. The procurement method used was selective via competitive dialogue. The award was made to Keepmoat Homes Limited, a large-scale supplier. The process reached the award stage on 31st October 2025, and the development contract is scheduled to commence on 1st November 2025, concluding on 31st October 2035. The estimated contract value is £100,000,000, with the funding mechanism being grant-based rather than direct payments from the authority.

This tender represents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for large developers with experience in executing long-term phased construction projects. The development involves the creation of housing on Garth Lane and subsequent site-wide developments over the 10-year period, presenting ongoing opportunities for various phases. Businesses capable of demonstrating high performance in similar projects are ideally suited to engage with such large-scale collaborations. Despite the opportunity primarily being a development agreement, the potential turnover from developing the entire site could provide substantial business revenue, thereby making it an attractive proposition for well-equipped construction companies seeking to expand their portfolios in North East Lincolnshire and beyond.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Development Partner/s for Alexandra Dock in Grimsby

Notice Description

This is an opportunity for the delivery of the development of the Alexandra Dock area in Grimsby. The opportunity includes two contracts: primarily a Development Agreement for Phase 1 of the Scheme, a housing development on Garth Lane; secondly, a Framework Development Agreement under which individual phased Development Agreements for the whole site may (but are not guaranteed) to be directly awarded to the winning developer over a ten year development period provided the developer can demonstrate performance in delivery of Garth Lane (and subsequent phases). Due to the nature of this opportunity, NELC has calculated the value of this opportunity as it would a concession agreement i.e. by reference to an estimate of the likely developer turnover after development of the entire site and not by reference by payments to be made from the Authority to the successful partner. Please see the Procurement Documentation for further details. Funding from the Authority to the chosen partner shall be available grant funding only. Further details of the Authority's requirements under the contracts and other relevant information are detailed in the Information Memorandum at Schedule 2.
