Opportunity overview
Kirklees Council is conducting a Preliminary market engagement exercise to seek feedback from highly experienced contractors regarding planned land remediation and decontamination works at the former gasworks site. These works form part of the wider Investment Zone and contribute to the strategic objectives of the Station to Stadium Corridor Masterplan. The purpose of this market engagement exercise is to: • Understand current market capacity, capability, and interest • Inform the procurement strategy (including design maturity, risk allocation, and form of contract) • Identify barriers, risks, and opportunities • Shape future tender documentation so that it aligns with market norms and delivers best value This exercise is not a call for competition. The Council is particularly interested in contractor feedback on the following: • Preferred level of design development / performance specification required to achieve pricing certainty (e.g., RIBA Stage 3 - Concept Design, or RIBA Stage 4 - Technical Design) • Commentary on risk appetite • Views on the preferred form of contract (e.g., NEC ECC Option A or Option C, JCT, Design & Build approach) • Whether early contractor involvement (ECI) would be desirable • Clarity on any information gaps that could lead to risk premiums
