Summary of the contracting process

This procurement falls within the construction industry sector and is classified under "works" with the CPV code 45000000. The process did not follow a traditional call for competition but was conducted as an award procedure without prior publication, as the modifications were necessitated by Regulation 72 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The project involves the development of residential units and commercial spaces in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, with key modifications including an increase in housing units and changes to commercial unit size. This award was finalised on 23rd December 2025, with Hill Residential Limited, the supplier, being awarded the contract.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those involved in construction and real estate development, to engage in substantial urban development projects. Firms adept in managing large-scale developments and navigating regulatory modifications would be well-positioned to compete. The modifications arising from this procurement indicate a responsive approach to regulatory changes and economic conditions, highlighting potential growth and involvement in reshaping community landscapes. Such projects offer avenues for companies to expand their portfolios through involvement in high-demand housing solutions and urban improvement initiatives within the UK construction sector.

Notice Title

Deed of variation to an existing development agreement with a procured development partner in respect of the sale, purchase and development of land located at Vincent Road, Woolwich.

Notice Description

The Contracting Authority intends to make modifications to an existing Development Agreement ("DA") entered into between the Contracting Authority and Hill Residential Limited ("Hill") on 21 August 2021.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The Contracting Authority intends to modify an existing DA entered into between the Contracting Authority and Hill on 21 August 2021. The DA will facilitate the development of Vincent Road, Woolwich, which was originally procured in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, pursuant to the London Development Panel 2 Framework Agreement, in which the Contracting Authority undertook a mini-competition process.

Procurement Information

The Contracting Authority is publishing this voluntary ex ante notice to transparently notify economic operators of its intention to modify an existing DA entered into between the Contracting Authority and Hill on 21 August 2021. The Contacting Authority intends to enter into the modifications pursuant to Regulation 72(1)(b), (c) and (e) PCR, where additional works, services or goods are needed, some result in non-substantial modifications, and others are the result of unforeseen circumstances. Following the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, new legislation and rules came into force which amongst other things, required the redesign of large elements of the scheme to be delivered under the development agreement. The scheme was also impacted by macro-economic factors, such as unforeseen and almost unprecedented build cost inflation. The provision of grant funding available to support the scheme has required modifications. A description of the modifications: Minimum Requirements modified to: increase homes to be built on the site from 478 to 534; reduce commercial units from 1,000 sqm to 250 sqm; and remove obligation to retain the facade of the Bull Tavern pub. Modifications to the scheme design in terms of block footprint, massing, height and tenures for the purposes of planning requirements. Modifications to the land price, payment timings and overage terms and conditions. Modification so that the Contracting Authority no longer has an obligation to acquire 51 housing units, with those units now being taken by a Registered Provider ("RP"). New conditions precedent to secure a RP buyer of the affordable homes alongside the developer, to secure grant funding in respect of the scheme.
