The works include the car park structure and associated civil engineering, utilities, drainage, highways, electrical, external and engineering design works. Delivery will take place in Southampton, within a live operational port environment. The requirement is for a Principal Contractor to deliver landside infrastructure and manage the construction interfaces around ongoing port operations. The procurement is classified as construction works, including car park building, road construction, drainage and structural work. ABP is the UK ports group acting as the buyer. The project therefore suits contractors able to deliver integrated building and infrastructure works rather than suppliers providing standalone materials or isolated services. The process has reached tender: ABP has invited suppliers to participate through a selective, two-stage Competitive Flexible Procedure under the Procurement Act 2023. Stage 1 is a Conditions of Participation questionnaire (PSQ), followed by an Invitation to Tender for shortlisted applicants. PSQ responses were due by 1 September 2026 at 12:00 BST. The planned award period ends on 6 January 2027 at 23:59 UTC, and the contract period runs from 25 January 2027 to 1 May 2029. Electronic submissions in English are allowed through ABP’s procurement portal. Evaluation at the published stage is based entirely on quality, specifically questions relating to the Conditions of Participation. The estimated gross procurement value is recorded as £0, while the lot value is recorded as AED 0. This opportunity suits an established principal contractor with the financial capacity, insurance, legal and regulatory compliance, data protection capability, and health, safety, environmental and quality management systems needed for a complex infrastructure project. Applicants must demonstrate technical capability and relevant experience delivering comparable building and infrastructure schemes of similar scale and complexity, particularly in operationally constrained environments. Strong programme management, stakeholder management and interface coordination are important because construction will take place in a live port. The requirement also favours businesses able to coordinate structural, civil engineering, utilities, drainage, highways, electrical and external works under one delivery model. Shortlisted suppliers will later be expected to submit detailed proposals, with scope for innovative solutions and value-driven outcomes. ## Notice Associated British Ports (ABP) is the UK's largest ports group, operating 21 ports across the UK and handling approximately one quarter of the nation's seaborne trade. ABP is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced Principal Contractor to deliver a landside infrastructure project at the Port of Southampton. The project comprises the construction of a multi-deck vehicle parking facility and associated infrastructure works, including civil engineering, utilities, drainage, highways, and external works. The works will be undertaken within a live operational environment and require strong programme, stakeholder, and interface management capabilities. ABP intends to procure the works through a Competitive Flexible Procedure under the Procurement Act 2023. The procurement will be conducted in two stages: 1. Conditions of Participation Stage (PSQ) 2. Invitation to Tender (ITT) Stage The Conditions of Participation stage will assess suppliers' capability, capacity, relevant experience, financial standing, health and safety arrangements, and overall suitability to deliver projects of a similar scale and complexity. Suppliers will be expected to demonstrate successful delivery of comparable building and infrastructure projects, particularly those undertaken within operationally constrained or complex environments. The PSQ documentation will be issued via the ABP procurement portal. Only suppliers meeting the Conditions of Participation requirements will be invited to participate in the ITT stage. This notice serves to notify the market of the commencement of the procurement process and invite interested suppliers to participate. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/075108-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Competitive flexible procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 25 Jan 2027 - 1 May 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ASSOCIATED BRITISH PORTS | | Locality | LONDON | | Postcode area | Central London | | Postcode | WC2E 9ES | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLJ32 Southampton | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work - 45213312 - Car park building construction work - 45223220 - Structural shell work - 45223300 - Parking lot construction work - 45232452 - Drainage works - 45233120 - Road construction works - 45311000 - Electrical wiring and fitting work - 71000000 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 71322000 - Engineering design services for the construction of civil engineering works ## Release History - 7 Aug 2026 at 09:47 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/075108-2026 - 7 Aug 2026 at 09:44 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/075107-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/075108-2026 7th August 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/075107-2026 7th August 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/abp/aspx/Home ## Notice URLs - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
