UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by ONWARD GROUP LIMITED, a sub-central government public authority, involves the redevelopment of Avenham Towers located in Preston, UK. This project falls under the 'Construction work' industry category and is set to begin its planned contract period from 1st July 2027 to 30th June 2030. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, and the tender was released as a pipeline notice on 26th May 2026. The procurement method used is 'selective', involving an award under a framework, with a gross contract value of £58,800,000. The process is competitive and designed to suit the capabilities of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the construction sector, particularly those with experience in complex redevelopment projects. Companies specialising in urban regeneration and those capable of delivering large-scale projects would find this contract ideal for business expansion. As the procurement method is selective and part of a framework, businesses already involved in similar frameworks or with relevant government contracting experience may have a competitive advantage. The project's significant budget and its focus on urban infrastructure enhancement make it an attractive venture for growth-oriented firms aiming to establish a strong foothold in public sector construction.
