## Summary

The Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council is planning a public procurement process for the construction of 119 apartments and a 20-bed hostel at Princess Road, Bournemouth. This initiative falls under the construction industry category and aims to engage a Principal Contractor for the Design and Build Works. The project is currently in the planning stage, with a crucial deadline for site commencement set for September 2021, followed by an anticipated two-year build period. Interested parties should note the upcoming virtual market engagement meetings scheduled for 30 April 2021 and the future notice expected on 17 May 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction and housing development, particularly those experienced in design and build contracts. Companies that can demonstrate proficiency in Modern Methods of Construction and sustainability practices will have an edge in this competitive process. With the estimated total contract sum of £27.5M, this project is an attractive prospect for local contractors looking to expand their portfolio in public sector work, considering the brief timeframe for contract award and service commencement.
