Procurement of a Design and Build Contractor for the Development of Social Rent Housing at Blackwell Close Garages and Morris Blitz Court, Area Housing Office

Tender description

The London Borough of Hackney is seeking to appoint Design and Build Contractor(s) for the development of new social rent housing. The Authority intends to engage a Main Contractor, under a JCT Design and Build 2024 contract (as amended), to deliver new homes and associated public realm improvements across two sites: Blackwell Close Garages, E5 0TA (“Blackwell Close”) and Morris Blitz Court Area Housing Office, 101 Farleigh Road, N16 7TE (“Morris Blitz Court”). The procurement is structured into two separate Lots (Lot 1 – Blackwell Close; Lot 2 – Morris Blitz Court), with each Lot awarded under a standalone contract. However, the Authority’s preference is to appoint a single contractor to deliver both Lots in parallel, where this represents the most advantageous outcome of the tender evaluation. The procurement will follow a competitive flexible procedure with multi-stages. Details of the award criteria are set out in the published tender documents. Bidders are required to submit tenders for both Lots, as the option of awarding both to a single contractor is expected to deliver efficiencies and cost savings that would not be achievable if awarded separately.
