Summary of the contracting process

Gentoo Group commissioned additional construction works for Phase 2A of the Chester Gate new-build development. The requirement is construction work, with associated architectural, engineering and inspection services included in the classification. The works are to be delivered in the North East of England. Prosper Procurement Ltd managed the procurement for Gentoo Group. The project concerns additional properties within the development; the available description does not set out the number or type of properties or a detailed work breakdown.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded by direct award under a new-build development framework. RE:GEN North East Limited was selected, with an award value of £19,866,697. The award was made on 9 October 2026. The contract period runs from 19 October 2026 to 2 April 2029. The original tender deadline was 8 October 2026. No lot breakdown or evaluation criteria are stated in the available procurement details.

For construction contractors, this award demonstrates Gentoo Group’s demand for delivery of additional properties within its Chester Gate new-build development, at substantial project scale. RE:GEN North East Limited was the appointed supplier, and the procurement was routed through a direct award under a new-build development framework. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need relevant new-build construction capability and the capacity to deliver work within a development programme. The stated procurement also includes associated architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services, so suppliers able to coordinate these disciplines may be well placed. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable for this opportunity, indicating that businesses of that scale may also be relevant when this buyer procures similar development work.
