Summary of the contracting process

The Mersey Docks and Harbour Company Limited, a key operant in port-related activities within the United Kingdom, has awarded the contract for the design and build of a new warehouse at Grandidges Quay, West Float, Birkenhead. The procurement process, which was a negotiated procedure with prior call for competition, evolved from planning to a competitive tender, reaching the award and contract stage. The tender, titled "Grandidges Quay New Build Warehouse" and classified under CPV code 45213200 for construction works of warehouses and industrial buildings, was finalised with a contract signed on 26 November 2024. The main site for this project is located in the region of UKD7, with the comprehensive construction works expected to commence soon, focusing on both the enabling and main contracts as detailed within the tender documentation.

This tender represents a substantial business opportunity, particularly for construction firms with expertise in large-scale industrial building projects. The scope, including the full design and build of an expansive 15,250 m² warehouse, ensures diverse engagement from contractors proficient in ground preparation, structural, mechanical, and electrical works, including sustainable instalments like EV charging points and photovoltaic systems. SMEs, like Glencar Construction Limited, which already won a selective award, can leverage this contract to significantly grow their portfolios and capabilities, increasing their competitiveness in future tenders within the industry. The project’s alignment with the latest building regulations and Peel Ports Group HSE Fire Safety requirements further highlights the strategic significance of regulatory compliance and innovation in construction practices.
