Preliminary Market Engagement to establish feedback from the market to develop and finalise the procurement documents for the procurement of a developer The Department for Communities (DfC) is undertaking this procurement for the appointment of a developer for the regeneration of the former Grosvenor Barracks site. DfC intends to facilitate a vibrant and inclusive community, incorporating private housing and a minimum of 60 social housing units, delivered within a sustainable, low carbon, high quality residential environment. The successful developer will enter into a Development Agreement under Licence with DfC to deliver this project. This Agreement will set out the contractual framework governing the development, including obligations, conditions, and procedural requirements. The Developer will be responsible for all design work required to secure full planning permission and satisfy requirements of all other statutory bodies. The Developer will be responsible for all aspects of the construction of the works, in full compliance with all relevant statutory regulations and relevant legislation. This includes entering into an agreement with a Housing Association for the delivery of the social housing units.

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 45. The category anchor is Building construction work (45210000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.
| Comparison set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 45 | 7,001 | 3 median · 23.4 average (1,177 of 7,001 with a bid count) | 3.5 average (1,298 of 7,001 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 1 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UKN | 105 | 5 median · 7.3 average (28 of 105 with a bid count) | 2 average (50 of 105 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 526 | 3.5 median · 28.3 average (4 of 526 with a bid count) | 6.8 average (4 of 526 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.
Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
