Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Southwark is planning a public procurement process under the title "Development Partner for Keyworker Housing at Rotherhithe New Road and 25 Cherry Garden Street." This procurement falls under the industry categories of Architectural, Construction, Engineering, and Inspection Services, as well as Construction Work, and is located in the UKI44 region of London, United Kingdom. The process is currently in the planning stage with a pipeline notice published on 26 May 2026. It is set to open for official communication around 27 July 2026. The estimated contract period is from 25 January 2027 to 26 March 2032. The procurement is categorized under 'works' and aims to deliver and operate keyworker housing without direct costs to the council while offering a potential return value to the developer between £120 million and £160 million.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction and engineering services, particularly those able to deliver large-scale residential development projects. With an estimated value to the developer of up to £160 million, the tender is most suitable for firms with the capacity to manage multi-million-pound contracts and potentially shoulder the design fee costs estimated at £1.5 million. Companies classified as SMEs and those with a solid track record in architectural and construction services will find this an excellent opportunity for business growth, as they could potentially benefit from substantial financial inflows during the contract period.
