UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Chesterfield Borough Council is currently in the planning stage of the procurement process for appointing a Development Partner for the Spire Neighbourhood. The council, operating as a sub-central government public authority, seeks partners in the services sector, focusing primarily on residential and non-residential real estate development. This procurement, governed by the legal framework of the UKPGA 2023/54, involves a planning update dated 6 July 2026 with key engagement milestones and deadlines stretching from July to September 2026. Located in Chesterfield, UKF region, the total gross value of the contract is estimated at £60 million, with net worth placed at £50 million, and the planned contract period spans from April 2027 to March 2030, potentially extending to March 2032.

This procurement offers a strategic growth opportunity for businesses specializing in real estate development and related advisory services. The council is seeking small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and charities or not-for-profits (VCSEs) well-versed in feasibility studies, project design, and cost estimation to participate. Engaging as a development partner for such a substantial government project can significantly enhance a company's credentials, provide substantial financial returns, and offer stability for several years. Businesses looking to expand their portfolio in the public sector or establish a presence in the Chesterfield region will find this invitation particularly promising and are encouraged to engage during the outlined preliminary market engagement period.
