Opportunity Overview
The requirement:
The Council requires a housebuilder warranty and insurance policy for the 291 Harrow Road development. The Council, acting as the developer, has appointed a main contractor to undertake pre-construction services and ultimately to construct three towers at the 291 Harrow Road site. In total the three towers will deliver 144 new homes. Construction is due to commence in late 2027.
Council requires a suitable warranty and insurance provider for the new build including cover for the works and structural warranty post-completion.
The requirement is for a 12-year policy, including the two-year defect liability period after the practical completion. It must cover both the private sale and social rent units.
The policy must protect purchaser deposits if the contractor becomes insolvent before completion, a warranty for the private sale building block (which is attached to an existing already insured Private Accommodation Building), and appropriate for both UK and overseas purchasers.
Further detail on the opportunity and requirement are in a draft scope of services available to the market on the Council's Jaggaer eProcurement Portal (link below).
