Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council is seeking feedback through a Pre-Market Engagement process for its planned "PAN3479 - Regent Road Development" project. The undertaking involves the demolition of existing buildings and the construction of a 42-unit residential development complete with landscaping to create a courtyard. This project falls under the building construction work category (CPV 45210000) and is located in Leicester, UK (region UKF21). Currently in the planning stage, the procurement aims to commence construction by April 2027, with planning to be finalized beforehand. Interested parties can submit their views until the extended deadline of 17 July 2026, via the Pre-Market Engagement questionnaire. The development is poised to be funded 45% by Homes England and 55% by Leicester City Council, with a JCT Single Stage Design and Build contract type proposed for the tender, which will be issued at RIBA stage 3+.

This opportunity opens substantial avenues for businesses specialising in building construction and related services. Companies interested in demolition and residential development will find this project particularly lucrative due to the 42-unit scope and the projected total contract value of approximately £14.18 million, with a gross amounting to roughly £17.03 million. The contract duration is anticipated to be three years, allowing sustained business throughout the project lifecycle. Furthermore, the project’s emphasis on quality and value—evaluated with a split of 40% quality (including 10% social value) and 60% pricing—offers a competitive landscape for businesses adept at delivering high-value and socially-conscious solutions. With the potential for renewal and further procurement notifications expected around November 2026, this project presents a promising growth opportunity for construction firms and associated service providers.
