Completion works of part-constructed building at Luckwell Road

The direct award of a JCT 2016 Design and Build Contract to Markey Construction Ltd for the completion of a partly constructed residential affordable housing development following procurement via the Westworks DPS and subsequent other market engagement failed to procure any interest.

The development comprises the design and construction of the completion of 67 partially constructed dwellings, along with the strip out of defective works, site clearance of defective materials, associated external works including drainage, service connections and diversions, parking areas, footpaths and landscaping.

The scheme was originally contracted as a JCT Design and Build Contract in December 2020. The previous contractor fell into administration in November 2023. This replacement has been prompted by the insolvency of the previous contractor and the need to complete the housing development in accordance with funding timescales.

Brighter Places considers the award of a contract without prior publication to be permitted by Part 2 of the Regulations.

Brighter Places has published this VTN setting out its intention to enter into the contract referred to above.

Brighter Places will not enter into the contract referred to above before the end of a period of at least ten (10) days beginning with the day after the date on which the VTN was published in the Find a Tender Service.
