UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Tendring District Council procured a pre-construction services agreement for two construction-led redevelopment projects in Dovercourt, Harwich, Essex. The Milton Road project covers a new at-grade car park, cycle parking and landscaping improvements at Milton Road Car Park. The Victoria Street project covers the conversion of two derelict sites into social housing and dedicated resident parking. A single main contractor is expected to deliver both requirements, which already have planning permission and are at RIBA Stage 3. Essex Procurement Partnership managed the procurement for Tendring District Council. Baily Garner LLP is the Council’s nominated Employer’s Agent and will help manage the project and administer the JCT Design and Build Works Contract. The work is classified as construction, with project and design preparation also included.

The procurement is complete and the pre-construction services agreement was awarded to Ermine Construction Services Limited. It used a below-threshold open competition. The requirement was evaluated 45% on technical quality, 10% on social value and 45% on commercial price. The contract value is £69,291.87 excluding VAT, or £83,150.25 including VAT. Two active contract records are shown for the same supplier and requirement; one was signed on 3 August 2026 and the other on 6 August 2026. Both contracts run from 17 August 2026 to 6 November 2026. The wider planned construction requirement was valued at £2,785,000 excluding VAT, or £3,360,000 including VAT. The completed lot was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This procurement shows demand from Tendring District Council for a contractor able to support linked regeneration schemes involving car parks, landscaping, social housing and resident parking. A credible future competitor would need construction capability covering both public-realm infrastructure and redevelopment of derelict sites, together with the ability to coordinate work across two locations as a single delivery package. Experience of pre-construction services and project and design preparation would be relevant, particularly at RIBA Stage 3, where planning permission is already in place. Suppliers should also be able to work constructively with a local authority, its Employer’s Agent and the administration requirements of a JCT Design and Build Works Contract. The requirement was explicitly suitable for SMEs, indicating that specialist or regional construction businesses with sufficient capacity may be well placed.
