Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Clarion Housing Property Development Service Limited, a public authority sub-central government body based in London, pertains to the design and construction of 180 affordable homes at Argenta House, located in Stonebridge Park, London Borough of Brent. The contract was awarded under the title "Argenta House - Main Contractor" to Midgard Ltd. This direct award decision was necessitated by the insolvency of the original contractor, Henry Construction, to ensure the continuity of the project and address potential health and safety issues. Key dates include the contract start on 27th March 2026 and completion by 30th March 2032, with an optional renewal for an additional two years. The procurement falls under the "works" category, with a gross value of £68,350,900.30 and is active as of 24th June 2026.

This tender provides significant opportunities for growth, particularly for large construction companies capable of delivering major housing infrastructure projects. The project, requiring the design and build of new residences, is suited for businesses specialising in building construction work. Given the direct award nature of this process, companies with the capability to rapidly mobilise resources and who can step in under urgent conditions may find opportunities in similar future procurements. The focus on timely project execution and compliance with specified legal and safety standards makes it ideal for well-established firms with a track record in handling large-scale developments and managing complex logistical demands.
