Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Anchor Housing’s new-build development replaces an existing block of 47 bedsits at Belsay Gardens / St Clements, by Kingston Park, Newcastle, with a 70-dwelling site. The requirement is for construction works to deliver the redevelopment, including demolition of the existing block. Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services are also classified as part of the procurement. PROSPER Procurement Ltd managed the process on behalf of the contracting body. The work is located in Newcastle, in the North East of England. This is a housing development rather than a general construction requirement: suppliers’ relevant experience would need to cover residential redevelopment and delivery of new homes on an existing site.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Meldrum Group Limited on 16 October 2026. The award value is £17,762,942.76. The contract period runs from 1 January 2027 to 31 March 2029. The work was procured through a further competition under the New Build Development Framework. The earlier tender deadline was 19 August 2026 at 12 noon. The process was categorised as works, with construction work as its primary classification and architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services as additional classifications. No lot breakdown or award evaluation criteria are stated in the available process details.

The award demonstrates demand from Anchor Housing for a substantial residential redevelopment involving demolition of an existing bedsit block and construction of 70 homes on the same site. Meldrum Group Limited was selected, indicating that the successful supplier could undertake this new-build requirement at scale. Businesses best placed for a comparable requirement would have demonstrable capacity and experience in residential construction and redevelopment, including managing demolition and building new dwellings within an existing location. The procurement was run as a further competition through a new-build development framework, so relevant framework access and the ability to compete through that route would be commercially important. The stated SME suitability means smaller firms may also find the requirement relevant where they can demonstrate the necessary delivery capability.
