UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Tendring District Council is procuring major construction works for the Carnarvon Terrace redevelopment in Clacton-on-Sea, with Essex County Council acting as procuring entity. The project involves demolishing the existing steel-framed car park, preparing the site and building 28 new residential apartments, a replacement multi-storey public car park and community spaces. It also includes a publicly accessible urban realm with hard and soft landscaping. The work is classified as construction works. The project has planning permission and was at RIBA Stage 3 when tendered. Baily Garner LLP is the nominated Employer’s Agent, working with the council to manage the project, administer the JCT Design and Build Works Contract, monitor progress and quality, certify payments and oversee compliance with the employer’s requirements.

The procurement is complete and has reached award stage following a single-lot open procedure. Nine bids reached the final stage, including seven from SMEs. Duncan Cameron & Hutchinson Limited was selected on 20 July 2026, subject to a standstill period ending 31 July 2026. The awarded value is £17,523,082.06 excluding VAT, or £21,034,898.47 including VAT. The awarded contract period runs from 4 August 2026 to 29 February 2028, with signature scheduled for 3 August 2026. The original estimated value was £17,000,000 excluding VAT, or £20,400,000 including VAT. Evaluation weighted technical quality at 45%, commercial price at 45% and social value at 10%. Economic and technical selection requirements were set out in the tender pack.

This requirement demonstrates demand from Tendring District Council for a single main contractor able to deliver a complex, integrated regeneration scheme rather than separate specialist packages. A credible future competitor would need experience of demolition, constrained-site preparation, residential construction, multi-storey car parks, community facilities, public realm and landscaping, with the capacity to coordinate all elements through design and build delivery. The project also points to the importance of working effectively with a council, an Employer’s Agent and the JCT contract administration process, while controlling quality, progress, payments and compliance. Technical delivery and commercial competitiveness carry equal weight, and social value is a scored requirement. The participation of seven SMEs at final stage shows that suitably capable smaller contractors can compete, potentially through a strong delivery team or consortium.
