Description

This is a market engagement exercise to inform and engage with Contractors to gain information relating to the ability of the market to construct the proposed three Passivhaus houses within the City of Southend-on-Sea from October/November 2024. This exercise is to inform a forthcoming tender opportunity for the Passivhaus Pilot Design and Build Construction.

How Can your Organisation Get Involved?

The Council wants to ensure that any procurement and contract award relating to the provision of these construction services is done so with as much consideration to market research as possible. The Council views this as a critical factor in delivering its aspirations in an informed manner and for ensuring the construction project achieves value for public money within the required timeframe. The dual purpose of this document is to seek engagement with potential contractors that have experience in Passivhaus construction and availability to work from October/November 2024.

Potential Contractors are therefore invited to complete the Market Engagement Questionnaire - Passivhaus Pilot which is available on the Council's e-tendering portal: https://procontract.due-north.com.
