Tender: Design and Construction of 249-Unit Build-to-Rent Block (Plot 2A) — Stretford Mall, Trafford

About

Trafford Council is seeking a supplier for the design, construction, completion and defects rectification of a new-build Build to Rent block (Plot 2A) at Stretford Mall comprising 249 residential units, approximately 200m² of ground-floor commercial space, associated amenity areas and public realm, to be delivered as part of a multi-phase masterplan on behalf of the Bruntwood Trafford Council Residential Joint Venture. The project will be delivered using a PCSA followed by a Main Contract, with the contractor working with Trafford Council and its advisers to complete the design and agree a contract sum during the PCSA. Procurement is a two-stage Competitive Flexible Procedure: a scored Procurement Specific Questionnaire will determine which bidders progress to the second formal stage, and the specification and tender documents invite qualitative and financial submissions from suitably experienced contractors. The Council is also seeking contractors able to complete future phases (Plot 2B and Plot 1) with indicative values of Plot 2A £60m (exc VAT), Plot 2B £45m (exc VAT) and Plot 1 £70m (exc VAT); awards for those phases will be determined later. The Council will not undertake pre-market engagement and has not completed a planned procurement notice to avoid reducing the tender timescales.
