Summary of the contracting process

Colchester City Council is overseeing the procurement process for a design and build project at 72-86 Military Road in Colchester, Essex, classified under the building construction work industry category. The procurement process, which follows a selective procurement method via a restricted procedure, involved stages of tendering followed by awards. The initial tender phase commenced in late 2024, with submissions due by January 9, 2025, leading to the award of the contract to Rose Builders Ltd in July 2025. The contract, valued at £6,790,573, was signed on July 3, 2025, and involves providing design and build services from RIBA Stage 2 to Stage 7 with an end date in June 2027. The project aims to deliver affordable housing solutions within budget and aesthetic requirements, engaging construction expertise that connects well with the existing locality.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the construction sector. Firms involved in building construction, architectural design, and sustainable development practices will find this contract particularly appealing. With a focus on urban planning and community enhancement, businesses offering environmentally friendly solutions and those capable of integrating with the surrounding infrastructure stand to benefit the most. As such, SMEs able to deliver innovative designs, manage risks effectively, and provide cost-efficient solutions are well-positioned to compete in this procurement process.
