## Summary

The Southend-on-Sea Borough Council is seeking partners for the "Better Queensway Regeneration Project," which focuses on the construction and management of a mixed-use scheme in the East of England, aiming to enhance community living through the development of affordable housing and improved public spaces. The tender process is at the award stage, with a significant contract value of £400 million, and the contract period spans from 24 April 2019 to 23 April 2049.
