Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the construction of the Thurrock Youth Zone, led by Thurrock Youth Zone Ltd, has reached completion. The project, titled "Thurrock Youth Zone - Invitation to Tender," falls under the construction industry category with a primary focus on works. Located in Tilbury, Thurrock, Essex, this development is part of the OnSide network of Youth Zones, aiming to enhance youth facilities. The procurement process employed an open procedure, catering to sub-central government public authority needs. Important dates in this process included the start of the contract on 24th October 2025 and expected completion by 12th February 2027, with the contract signing occurring on 10th October 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction work, particularly those with experience in developing communal facilities. Large construction companies, like the successful bidder Piperhill Construction Limited, are well-suited to compete in this environment due to their capability to meet the operational and commercial criteria specified, which formed a 70% weighting of the overall assessment. The involvement in such a high-value project, grossed at approximately £10.3 million, offers considerable growth prospects for contractors looking to expand their portfolio in public sector development projects.
