UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Plymouth Community Homes is at the planning stage of a procurement process for the Marlborough House Employers Agent project, aimed at redeveloping a 13-storey residential building in Plymouth into 148 new flats for social rent. This initiative falls under the services category, specifically construction consultancy services, and is open for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The consultancy role will advise on the procurement of a project team and contractor for a subsequent JCT Design and Build contract. Located in the United Kingdom, the procurement process includes a planned market engagement phase with a milestone due date of 16th May 2025, and the main procurement communication is scheduled for 21st May 2025. The contracting period will begin on 1st August 2025 and conclude on 29th August 2031, with the total contract value estimated at £800,000.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses, especially those providing construction consultancy services, to engage in a major social housing project. Firms experienced in construction project management, especially SMEs familiar with JCT contracts, are ideally positioned to capitalize on this opportunity. The preliminary stage seeks specialist expertise to define the contractor selection process, potentially creating sustained growth and credibility for the successful firm in the public housing development sector. Additionally, as this represents the first consultant appointment for the project, successful participation could lead to further involvement in subsequent stages of the redevelopment, thus enhancing long-term business prospects.
