Homes England requires a Contractor to undertake the construction of the Primary Works associated with a development site known as Basford East located within Cheshire East Council.

Construction of new estate access roads (Southern and Western Spur), and a crossing (bottomless culvert) over the Basford Brook; The Contractor is to undertake detailed design and specify the pre-cast portal culvert that will support the proposed Western Spur carriageway as detailed further below. 2. Provision of new incoming utilities to service the proposed future residential and commercial / employment development at the Basford East site (including two electrical substations and one gas governor); 3.
