Early Market Engagement: Design and Build Regina Road

The Regina Road Regeneration is a priority project for the London Borough of Croydon (LBC). It is the first major regeneration scheme that LBC is undertaking directly in recent times and has vested interest from both senior members of the Council and in the wider community. The Project commenced following a successful ballot and decision of London Borough of Croydon’s Cabinet on 25 October 2023 approving full redevelopment of the estate via direct delivery by LBC. .The project now seeks to deliver a minimum of 340 new quality homes for residents to replace existing 191 post-war housing which is in poor condition. Phase 1 of the project comprises delivery of 225 affordable homes (including 215 social rent, 10 shared equity/shared ownership), a community space, and a nursery. The balance of a minimum of 115 units is to be delivered as part of Phase 2. Refer to appendix A for the site phasing layout plan. The site layout plan details the existing blocks on site as highlighted in red. The demolition of 1-87 Regina Road tower block has commenced and will be completed by the time the main works is scheduled to commence in March 2026. The demolition of the remaining blocks is anticipated to form part of the main works contract. The LBC is committed to the delivery of the phase 1 works in this initial stage of the project, which requires a start on site by March 2026. Accordingly, bidders are requested to only focus on phase 1 of this project when responding to the prior information notice (PIN), soft market testing questionnaire and future tender.
