Unlike a call for tenders, this exercise is a pre-procurement initiative aimed at engaging with the market to refine the scope, structure, and delivery strategy of a future procurement procedure. Economic operators are invited to submit non-binding feedback to inform the development of what is expected to become one of Malta’s most significant urban regeneration projects.

The project forms part of the wider Grand Harbour Revival Plan and centres on Phase 1, which envisages the transformation of a largely industrial waterfront into a mixed-use urban district. The proposed interventions include residential development, office and commercial space, hotels, public squares, waterfront promenades, and the adaptive reuse of heritage assets such as the Custom House.

For the purposes of the consultation, the project has been divided into six functional groups, allowing market participants to provide input on delivery strategies, including whether components should be procured individually, in phases, or as part of an integrated package.

Importantly, the Contracting Authority is seeking views on potential delivery and partnership models, including concession-based structures, contract duration, risk allocation, and financing approaches. This indicates that the eventual procurement may adopt a PPP-style or developer-led model. This represents an important opportunity for potential future bidders to shape future procurement processes.
