## Summary

The procurement process for the "Old Orchard Road Residential Scheme" was initiated by Eastbourne Borough Council, situated in the Town Hall, Eastbourne. The project focuses on the construction industry, classified under CPV code 45000000. It involves developing a vacant site previously occupied by the Ministry of Justice in a predominantly residential area of Eastbourne, UKJ22 region. The procurement, initiated in August 2025, was initially at the tender stage before it was cancelled in October 2025 due to an error found in the evaluation criteria. The process aimed to select contractors through a competitive flexible procedure involving a two-stage process, with the top five contractors invited to tender. Key dates included a submission of expressions of interest by 22nd September 2025 and an award period ending by 25th September 2025.

This tender provided a substantial opportunity for growth for construction companies, especially those specialising in residential developments and affordable housing projects. The project, valued at £8 million, proposed constructing 30 flats, including two accessible ground-floor flats. Given its scope, businesses with expertise in design and build, particularly those who can offer innovative solutions for communal landscapes and sustainability in housing, would find this tender appealing. Organisations that have a track record of working with public authorities in the UK and those meeting the selective procurement criteria would have been well-suited to compete.
