Summary of the contracting process

Clarion Housing Property Development Service Limited has undertaken a procurement process to appoint a main contractor for the design and build of 180 affordable homes at Argenta House, Stonebridge Park, located in the London Borough of Brent. The procurement stage is currently at the award phase, with Midgard Ltd being awarded the contract. The direct award method was utilised due to the insolvency of the previous supplier, necessitating urgent action to ensure completion and compliance with GLA Grant Funding deadlines. The contract is valued at £68,350,900.30 and spans from 26 March 2026 to 30 March 2032, with potential renewal extending up to 30 March 2034. Key upcoming dates include the finalisation of the award by 26 March 2026 following a standstill period that ends on 25 March 2026.

This tender opens up significant opportunities for businesses in the construction industry, particularly those skilled in building construction work. Large enterprises capable of handling significant works projects, such as Midgard Ltd, would be especially suited for this contract. Due to the critical urgency and scope of the works required, the ability to efficiently manage resources and ensure safety on the site is essential. No competitive bidding is needed for this procurement opportunity, allowing the awarded contractor to secure the project directly and immediately contribute to the local development efforts and growth within the London Borough of Brent.
