Construction of New Headquarters for North Sea Port

This market consultation concerns the design and construction of a new headquarters building for North Sea Port in the Netherlands. The project will be procured using a two-phase approach under a UAV-GC 2025 contract. Contractors should anticipate a design-build project, implying a significant degree of responsibility for both the architectural and engineering aspects, as well as the construction execution. The use of a two-phase approach likely involves a competitive dialogue or similar process to refine the design and technical solutions. The lack of specific location data (region, city) makes detailed site assessment impossible at this stage.

The project's scale is suggested by its status as a new headquarters building for a major port authority, which typically implies a substantial building with office space, meeting rooms, and potentially specialized facilities. The choice of UAV-GC 2025 suggests a level of complexity and risk allocation common in larger Dutch construction projects. Contractors need to be familiar with this contract form. As a market consultation, this is an early stage, and contractors will need to assess if they have the design capabilities and capacity for a project of this likely scale.

Given the publication date of 2026-03-09, contractors should check relevant tender platforms for deadlines and any further information that may have been published since the original notice. The fact that this is a 'general' trade indicates that a general contractor would be appropriate for the project, and that it will likely include all normal trades. However, it may exclude specializations related to port activities.
