There are 2 contracts in this contracting process.

Summary of the contracting process

Brighton and Hove City Council is embarking on a significant procurement process titled "BHCC - RS - LPS Programme" focused on the demolition and redevelopment of eight high-rise residential buildings that do not meet safety standards. These buildings, located in Hollingdean, North Whitehawk, and Kemptown, have been identified to pose a risk of collapse in the event of fire or explosion. Currently in the planning stage, this initiative aims to engage with construction consultants and contractors through planned market engagement sessions in Hove, with responses due by 5th September 2025. The engagement will help shape the subsequent tender process, with consultancy tenders anticipated for mid-October and contractor tenders following. The industry category primarily involves construction work and architectural, engineering, and inspection services, and the procurement process is scheduled to conclude in July 2028.

This procurement offers substantial business growth opportunities for entities specialising in construction and associated disciplines such as quantity surveying, principal design, and structural engineering. It is particularly well-suited for SMEs looking to expand their portfolio by engaging in public sector projects that focus on safety compliance and community collaboration. The council's emphasis on co-production with residents and the commitment to people-centred outcomes highlight a unique venture where consultancy and contractor partners can demonstrate their ability to innovate and excel in delivering safety and excellence in construction. The project also supports early contractor involvement, providing an advantageous environment for businesses to actively contribute to and influence project outcomes.
