Summary of the contracting process

Eastleigh Borough Council is currently in the tender stage of a procurement process titled “EBC - Kings Copse Avenue Multi-Utility Tender”. This process seeks a qualified multi-utility provider to handle the design, implementation, and adoption of utility services for the development of 192 residential units in Hedge End, Southampton. The specific services needed include electricity, potable water, surface and foul water, and both air-source and ground-source heating options. The tender is open under an 'open competition' method and is subject to legislation under UKPGA 2023/54. This procurement falls under the works category within the construction industry, with key activities taking place in the region with postal code SO50 9YN, part of the Eastleigh Borough Council's strategic housing delivery programme. Interested parties must submit their tenders by 29th January 2026, following an enquiry period that ends on 26th January 2026.

This tender offers a lucrative growth opportunity for businesses involved in the utility construction and development sectors. Companies with expertise in multi-utility design and implementation, capable of working within a residential context, would be well-suited to bid for this contract. The opportunity is particularly favourable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) due to the suitability criteria favouring them. Prospective bidders will have the chance to engage in an in-person interview if they score highly during the initial bidding stage. The contract allows for renewal until the completion of the residential project, which includes ensuring all residential units are connected to and operational with the required utilities. Thus, successful bidders can anticipate substantial engagement over the project's duration, supporting not only immediate business expansion but also long-term engagement with local government infrastructure projects.
