Summary of the contracting process

Trafford Council has initiated a tender process for the Plot 2A Stretford Mall Residential Development, seeking to appoint a contractor for the design, construction, completion and defects rectification of a new-build Build to Rent block. The development includes 249 residential units and 200m² of commercial space, as part of a larger masterplan at Stretford Mall, located in the UKD3 region of Manchester, United Kingdom. This tender, under the Competitive Flexible Procedure, involves a two-stage process comprising a Procurement Specific Questionnaire followed by a formal tender stage. Key deadlines include the enquiry period ending on 5 January 2026 and the tender period closing on 19 January 2026. With an overall budget of £210 million, this procurement falls within the construction industry category, specifically targeting works above the monetary threshold.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses experienced in large-scale residential and commercial construction projects. The intricate nature and scale of this project suit construction firms capable of handling complex development plans while maintaining high standards of design and quality, as evidenced by the £60 million valuation allotted just for Plot 2A. Additionally, with future phases (Plot 2B and Plot 1) potentially totalling £115 million, this tender might serve as a gateway for securing more extensive works within the development. Successful bidders will need to demonstrate strong financial and logistical capabilities and the ability to collaborate effectively with Trafford Council and their advisors throughout the process.
