Trafford Council has initiated a procurement process for the construction of Plot 2A as part of the Stretford Mall Residential Development in Manchester. This project is set under the Residential Joint Venture with Bruntwood and involves the construction of 249 residential units, commercial space, and public amenity areas. The procurement process follows an open, competitive flexible procedure with a two-stage approach, involving a Procurement Specific Questionnaire and a formal tender stage. The contract, valued at £60 million for Plot 2A alone, was awarded on 20th April 2026, and the contract period extends from 29th June 2026 to 1st September 2029.
