## Summary

The public procurement process for the Grays Riverfront Project 3 has been completed by Thurrock Council, based in Essex, United Kingdom. This project, classified under construction work, involves pre-construction services crucial for the redevelopment of Grays Riverfront. The procurement was initiated with a tender and has reached the award stage as of 10th March 2026, with the contract period starting on the same day and ending on 30th April 2029. Although the tender period concluded on 8th August 2025, the award announcement has recently been updated, confirming two suppliers: McLaughlin & Harvey Ltd and VolkerFitzpatrick Ltd.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in construction and pre-construction services, as it encompasses an extensive contract period that spans over three years. The awarded contract suggests potential collaboration with established firms like McLaughlin & Harvey Ltd and VolkerFitzpatrick Ltd, implying that well-equipped large construction companies could benefit. Smaller businesses or VCSEs may struggle, given the project's scale and requirements. Nonetheless, firms capable of working in the Essex region can leverage this contract to enhance their portfolio through high-profile public projects.
