UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Stonewater Limited intends to procure construction works for a 39-home residential development on an approximately 2.49-hectare greenfield site at Stoke Road, Henlade, Somerset. The scheme comprises affordable housing across a mixed tenure, subject to policy compliance, with 25% of homes secured through a Section 106 agreement. The accommodation includes four one-bedroom, two-person flats; two two-bedroom, three-person bungalows designed to meet Part M4(3) standards; four two-bedroom, four-person bungalows; nine two-bedroom, four-person houses; 19 three-bedroom, five-person houses; and one four-bedroom, six-person house. The work is classified as construction and covers delivery of the complete residential development for Stonewater. Contractors would enter into a JCT contract directly with Stonewater as the successful contractor.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Stonewater has stated its intention to procure and is undertaking preliminary market engagement rather than inviting tenders. The buyer expects organisations to submit an expression of interest and key details of their experience and ability by 9 September 2026. Stonewater anticipates issuing a subsequent notice on 18 September 2026. The planned single-lot contract is expected to run from 18 January 2027 to 18 August 2028. Its estimated gross value is £8.5 million, in GBP, and the procurement is above the applicable threshold. The planned works will be let under a JCT contract. The engagement is intended to inform the buyer about suitably experienced contractors able to deliver the stated housing scheme.

This will suit a main contractor with demonstrated experience delivering multi-unit residential developments on greenfield sites, including the coordination of varied house and flat types. Relevant preparation should cover construction of bungalows, houses and flats at the stated scale, together with delivery of accessible housing designed to Part M4(3) requirements. Contractors should be able to manage affordable housing obligations and the Section 106 requirements forming part of the scheme, while working within a JCT contractual arrangement. The buyer is specifically seeking evidence of organisational experience and ability to deliver its requirements. Firms considering participation should prepare a concise profile of comparable work, delivery capability and the team or supply chain they would use.
