## Summary

The Ebbsfleet Development Corporation is in the planning phase for a substantial procurement titled "Ebbsfleet Central Phase 1a Infrastructure Works - Multi-Utility Company." This procurement focuses on services related to communications infrastructure, ancillary work for pipelines and cables, telecommunications, water and electricity distribution, and sewage services. The proposed contract period spans from 1st January 2027 to 1st January 2037. Located in Ebbsfleet, North Kent, this initiative aims to support the development of up to 15,000 homes and create a modern Garden City, serving as a civic and commercial hub around the Ebbsfleet International Train Station. Key upcoming dates include a deadline on 2nd June 2026, for the Preliminary Market Engagement Notice, which is essential for businesses interested in this project.

This procurement offers unique opportunities for businesses in the utilities sector, especially those involved in communications infrastructure and utility services, to contribute to a high-profile urban regeneration project. Companies with expertise in large-scale infrastructure projects and utility management across multiple domains would be well-suited to participate. The project's significant value, with a gross amount estimated at £12 million, represents a substantial business growth opportunity. Additionally, engaging in this project could open doors for future collaborations with governmental bodies, thereby expanding a company's portfolio and credibility in the industry.

## Notice

Ebbsfleet Development Corporation (EDC) was established in 2015 to speed up the delivery of up to 15,000 homes and create a 21st-century Garden City in Ebbsfleet, North Kent. As planning authority for the Urban Regeneration Area, as well as landowner for a number of key sites across Ebbsfleet and surrounding communities, a key ambition for the regeneration of the area requires the Corporation to deliver Ebbsfleet Central, the civic and commercial heart of the Garden City scheme, set around Ebbsfleet International Train Station. EDC is seeking to engage with the market to establish interest and capability in relation to the proposed appointment of a Multi-Utility Company (MUC) to adopt utility infrastructure across Ebbsfleet Central East and West. This will also include supporting on the delivery of utility infrastructure by others. Further details are provided in the Preliminary Market Engagement information pack (see 'Engagement' section below).
