## Summary

Thurrock Council is seeking a single contractor to demolish the tower blocks and garages at Blackshots in Grays, Essex. This is a works contract covering demolition, site preparation and clearance activities, corresponding to CPV 45111000. The requirement is focused on the safe and effective removal of existing residential tower-block structures and associated garages, together with the related site-clearance work. Delivery is in Blackshots, Grays, within Thurrock. Businesses suited to this opportunity are demolition and enabling-works contractors able to take responsibility for the complete requirement rather than separately bidding for multiple packages. The buyer is Thurrock Council, a sub-central public authority, and the procurement is a below-threshold public-sector works opportunity.

The process has reached tender: Thurrock Council invited offers through an open competition, with tenders submitted electronically via its In-tend e-tendering portal. The tender deadline is 18 September 2026 at 12:00, and enquiries close at the same date and time. The estimated value is £2,670,000 excluding VAT and £3,204,000 including VAT. There is one lot. The contract period is from 5 November 2026 to 3 January 2028, with a possible extension to 3 January 2029. Renewal is described as two six-month periods. Offers will be evaluated on 60% quality and 40% price. Electronic submission is allowed, and portal registration is free.

This opportunity suits an established demolition contractor or a main contractor with strong demolition and site-clearance capability. The appointed supplier must be able to deliver the full demolition of tower blocks and garages in Blackshots, rather than only a discrete specialist package, so bidders should have the operational capacity to manage a substantial, multi-structure site. Relevant strengths include planning and controlling demolition works, coordinating site preparation and clearance, managing plant, labour and subcontractors, and delivering work safely in an urban setting. The quality weighting means the proposed delivery approach is important alongside price. Contractors with experience of complex building demolition and associated clearance works are likely to be best placed to demonstrate a credible method and adequate resources.
