Summary of the contracting process

Brighton and Hove City Council has issued a tender titled "BHCC - RS - Windlesham House and Portslade Village Centre Residential Redevelopment" as part of its "New Homes for Neighbourhoods" programme. This selective procurement process aims to secure a contractor for the redevelopment of the Windlesham House and Portslade Village Centre sites into residential units and community spaces, totalling 43 units across both sites. Currently in the tender stage, the process involves three stages focused on participation conditions, pricing, and value engineering. Interested parties must express their interest by 1 September 2025, following an enquiry period ending on 18 August 2025. The council has opted for a competitive flexible procurement method to ensure a robust selection process, with construction anticipated to commence in March 2026. The sites are located in the UK South East Region, under the classification "Construction work" (CPV code: 45000000).

This tender presents significant business opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in construction or residential development. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) might find this tender particularly attractive given the selective process designed to bring in competitive bids from qualified contractors. With a gross contract value of £20.4 million, the contract offers a substantial financial incentive combined with the chance to create lasting infrastructure in a thriving community. The staged selection process allows businesses to showcase their strengths in quality and pricing, providing a fair chance to smaller organisations that can compete on one or more criteria. Successful businesses will not only gain a foothold in the public sector but also potentially contribute to transformative urban development.
