UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Thurrock Council is planning to appoint a principal contractor for the development of 11 new-build residential units at Anton Road, North and South. The requirement is construction work, covering delivery of the completed units rather than a separate professional service or supply contract. The project is being developed by the council as a future works procurement and is intended for a contractor able to take responsibility for the main construction delivery. The council is based in Grays, and the project is associated with Thurrock. The scope may be refined as the council develops its procurement strategy, so construction businesses should treat the current description as an early indication of the planned requirement rather than a fixed specification.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Thurrock Council has announced an intention to procure, but this is not an invitation to tender or pre-market engagement exercise. The council currently plans to use a single planned lot and expects a future notice on 23 October 2026. The indicative contract period is 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2029, with a possible extension to 31 January 2030 and renewal rights. The estimated value is £3,614,628 excluding VAT, or £4,337,553.60 including VAT. The procurement is classified as works and is below the relevant threshold. The details, including the procurement strategy, remain subject to change before competition.

This will suit an established principal contractor with the management capability, construction resources and capacity to deliver 11 new-build units over a multi-year residential development programme. Businesses should be prepared to demonstrate relevant experience in new-build housing and the ability to coordinate the full construction process, including site delivery, programme management, quality control and completion. The scale points to a contractor capable of managing a substantial works package rather than a specialist trade-only commission. The council has not yet set out detailed participation requirements, technical standards or evaluation criteria, so interested firms should monitor the project as it develops and use the planning period to assess their residential construction experience, delivery capacity and potential supply-chain arrangements.
