Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Brighton and Hove City Council's Windlesham House and Portslade Village Centre Residential Redevelopment is now at the award stage following initial planning and tender phases. The project involves the creation of 43 residential units and a community space between two sites with planning approval. Woodhart Construction Limited has been identified as the supplier for the contract, with the award date set to be finalised on 20th March 2026 and the standstill period ending on 31st March 2026. The contract is anticipated to run from 1st June 2026 to 30th June 2028 within the construction industry in the UKJ region under an open, competitive flexible procedure.

This tender offers substantial potential for business growth, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the construction sector. With a total value of approximately £16.59 million, the redevelopment provides businesses the opportunity to engage in substantial construction work and community development efforts. Companies well-suited to compete in this tender were those with expertise in design and build contracts, particularly involving residential developments. The competitive nature and staged approach of the procurement process enabled SMEs like Woodhart Construction Limited to showcase their capabilities effectively against other tenderers such as WEBUILD SUSSEX LTD, TRINITY CONSTRUCTION SERVICES LIMITED, and ROBERTS GALLAGHER CONSTRUCTION LTD. As the project encompasses both housing and community space, it is ideal for businesses aiming to expand their portfolio with significant public sector projects.
