The University of Cambridge is seeking main contractors for phase one of its £1bn development scheme. The first phase, worth an estimated £281m, is for the construction of the buildings and public realm across the 150-hectare development, with individual contracts ranging from £5m to over £50m in value. It includes 530 key-worker homes, over 300 student bed spaces and a local centre consisting of a supermarket, unit shops, doctors’ surgery and other community buildings. Archaeological and enabling works are already underway on the site, with infrastructure works to begin later this year. Building contracts will begin on a phased basis from mid-2014, completing throughout 2016.
