UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derby Homes Limited, an arm’s-length organisation wholly owned by Derby City Council, is planning works to regenerate and upgrade derelict garage sites across Derby. The requirement covers demolition of existing precast sectional concrete garages, followed by the supply and erection of Pent Design precast sectional concrete garages. Site preparation includes specialist raft foundations designed to structural engineer standards, foundation slabs, tarmacadam, drainage, open-boarded or close-boarded fencing, and electrical services from cabinets to security lighting columns. The works also include Gyproc FireLine plasterboard compartmentation, accurate setting out and making good any damage to roads, paths, services or other property. This is a building construction works requirement (CPV 45210000), intended to be delivered city-wide by one contractor from site preparation through completion.

This process is at the planning stage and is currently preliminary market engagement, not an invitation to tender. Derby Homes expects to use a competitive tender procedure for one contract, with no lots. The requirement is expected to cover around 6 to 24 garages, with the largest site estimated at up to £250,000. The planned contract period is 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2029, with a possible extension to 31 January 2032. The buyer’s indicative date for the next notice is 30 October 2026. Interested suppliers are invited to provide detailed views on how they would deliver the described works by 12 noon on 18 August 2026; Derby Homes expects to discuss responses during August and September 2026.

The requirement should suit a principal building or specialist refurbishment contractor able to manage a complete, multi-trade garage regeneration service and coordinate subcontractors. Relevant capability includes demolition of precast concrete structures, groundwork, reinforced concrete and raft foundation construction, drainage, tarmacadam, fencing, electrical installation for security lighting, garage erection and fire compartmentation. Suppliers will need to provide labour, plant and materials, undertake site visits and assess ground conditions, access, dimensions and other local constraints. Strong project management and coordination with Derby Homes, designers and building control will be important. Contractors must be able to comply with Construction (Design and Management) Regulations and provide method statements, risk assessments and COSHH reports. The completed garages require a 10-year structural guarantee or warranty.
