Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Camden is procuring a works contractor to redevelop a former car park at Hadley Street, NW1 8TE, on the Castle Road Estate in London. The project will provide 16 new homes for social rent, all of them affordable, in two buildings. The works relate to a residential new-build scheme and include the redevelopment of the site following demolition under an existing planning consent. The requirement is classified as construction work. The selected contractor will deliver the project in a live urban housing-estate setting, where residents and nearby stakeholders are in close proximity. The contract is intended as a single-stage design-and-build arrangement, with the contractor responsible for delivering the proposed homes and associated estate works described in the project brief.

The procurement has reached tender: Camden invited offers through a selective competitive flexible procedure. Expressions of interest were due by 12:00 on 19 August 2026, with electronic submission allowed in English. The estimated contract value is £7.3 million excluding VAT, or £8.76 million including VAT. The contract period is 22 July 2027 to 23 October 2028, and the award decision is due by 16 February 2027. There is one package of works. Offers are evaluated on quality at 60% and price at 40%. Participation requires acceptance of the contract conditions and Camden’s amendments to the JCT Design and Build 2024 form. The buyer may require a 10% performance bond, parent company guarantee and contractor insolvency cover at a later stage.

This opportunity suits main contractors experienced in new-build residential work on constrained, occupied urban estates. Bidders must provide two comparable case studies completed within the previous five years, covering delivery near residents, constrained logistics, programme, cost, quality, safety, resident satisfaction and stakeholder engagement. Evidence is required of managing demolition, enabling works, estate landscaping, play areas, access, deliveries, pedestrian safety, noise, dust and vibration, including use of logistics and delivery management plans. The requirement also tests social value delivery, such as apprenticeships, new entrant jobs, placements, education engagement, local supply-chain spend and community initiatives. The expected financial threshold is £10.95 million turnover and a current ratio of at least 0.6 in either of the two latest financial years. Insurance requirements are £10 million employer’s liability, public liability and professional indemnity cover.
