How to win: Northfleet Pathway Principal Contractor Procurement

About this contract

The site comprises the former European Recovery and Garage Services Building, now known as the Coach House, together with the surrounding brownfield land formerly occupied by the Northfleet Station goods yard. Historically used to support railway operations, including freight handling, maintenance and electrical infrastructure, the site was subsequently used as a vehicle repair workshop before becoming underutilised following the decline of rail-related activities. The proposed development will regenerate the brownfield site through refurbishment and repurposing of the Coach House, the creation of affordable modular shipping container workspace units, enhanced public realm and improved pedestrian connections to Northfleet Station. The Client is proposing that the future Principal Contractor will be responsible for the design coordination and construction of the Northfleet Pathway Project under an amended JCT Design and Build Contract 2024. It is currently anticipated that the project will be procured through a single-stage competitive tender via the Client's electronic procurement portal, subject to the necessary Client approvals.
