UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Tendring District Council, with Essex County Council procuring on its behalf, is undertaking a construction and regeneration project at Carnarvon Terrace in Essex. The scheme involves demolishing the existing steel-framed car park, preparing the site and building 28 new apartments, a replacement multi-storey public car park, community space and publicly accessible urban realm with hard and soft landscaping. The project has planning permission and was at RIBA Stage 3 when the procurement was described. The requirement was procured as a single package on the basis that one main contractor could deliver all elements. It is construction work, rather than a standalone supply or advisory service, and brings together residential, car park and public-realm construction at one site.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Duncan Cameron & Hutchinson Limited on 20 July 2026. The awarded value is £17,523,082.06 excluding VAT (£21,034,898.47 including VAT). The award period runs from 4 August 2026 to 29 February 2028; the contract was signed on 2 September 2026 and its recorded period runs from 7 September 2026 to 28 January 2027, with a value of £199,187.60 excluding VAT (£239,025.12 including VAT). The tender used an open procedure and was evaluated on technical quality (45%), social value (10%) and commercial price (45%). Economic and technical selection criteria applied, with detail set out in the tender pack. One lot covered the full project. The tender deadline was 5 June 2026, and the award decision period ended 31 July 2026.

This award demonstrates demand from Tendring District Council for a main contractor able to deliver a coordinated town-centre scheme combining demolition, site preparation, residential construction, a multi-storey public car park, community facilities and landscaped public space. A credible competitor for this buyer’s comparable requirement would need the capacity and relevant construction experience to manage these different workstreams as one integrated project, rather than only supplying a single component. The evaluation gave equal weight to technical quality and commercial price, while social value also formed part of the assessment; suppliers would therefore need a sound technical offer, competitive commercial planning and a credible approach to social value. The competition attracted nine final-stage bids, including seven from SMEs, showing that smaller firms participated alongside larger contractors. The requirement was awarded to an SME.
