Summary of the contracting process

Thurrock Council is seeking a principal contractor to demolish existing garages and design and build 11 new homes at Anton Road North and South in South Ockendon, Essex. The works also include landscaping, boundary treatments, car parking and cycle parking. This is a combined demolition, housing construction and associated external works project, classified as construction work. The council is the buyer and the project is located in South Ockendon. The successful contractor will be responsible for both the design and construction of the new homes, as well as the demolition and related site works.

The council invited offers through a below-threshold, open competition. The process reached the tender stage, with the tender published on 23 October 2026. The deadline for questions was 27 November 2026 at 12:00, and bids were due by 4 December 2026 at 12:00. The planned contract period runs from 1 April 2027 to 30 April 2029, with a possible 12-month renewal extending the maximum period to 30 April 2030. The estimated value is £3,614,628 excluding VAT (£4,337,550 including VAT). There is one lot. Evaluation gives 60% weighting to quality and 40% to price. Bids may be submitted electronically, through the council’s e-tendering portal.

This opportunity is suited to a principal contractor able to manage demolition and deliver new-build housing from design through construction. Bidders will need the capacity to build 11 homes and coordinate landscaping, boundary treatments, car parking and cycle parking as part of the same project. Firms with experience combining demolition and residential construction, and with the ability to manage design, site delivery and associated external works, are likely to be well placed. The quality-led evaluation means the strength of the proposed delivery approach carries greater weight than price, so suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate how they will deliver the full scope effectively. The works are concentrated at a single South Ockendon location.
