Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Guinness Developments Limited is procuring the design, construction and completion of 221 affordable houses and flats at Fossetts Way in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, including associated external works and defects rectification. This is a building construction works requirement (CPV 45210000). Guinness Partnership Limited is acting on behalf of its subsidiary and is identified as the buyer, while Guinness Developments Limited is the contracting authority for the procurement. The requirement covers the full delivery of the residential development rather than a standalone design, construction or maintenance package. Businesses relevant to this opportunity include housebuilders, principal contractors and integrated design-and-build providers with the resources to deliver affordable residential accommodation and its external infrastructure.

This procurement has been awarded following a competitive selective process using a call-off from the CHIC Development dynamic purchasing system. Bids had to be submitted by 13 March 2025 at 15:00 UTC. The contract was awarded to Lovell Partnerships Limited on 20 May 2026 for £53,316,412 including the stated contract value. The contract period runs from 7 August 2026 to 13 November 2028. Guinness Developments Limited will not enter into the contract before 7 August 2026. The process is complete and the award is active. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although the selected supplier is a large organisation. The award followed the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

This award demonstrates substantial demand from the Guinness group for integrated affordable-housing delivery in Southend-on-Sea. A credible future competitor would need to combine architectural and engineering design with principal-contractor capability, residential construction, completion, external works and post-completion defects rectification. The scale of 221 homes and flats calls for strong programme management, supply-chain control, site organisation, health and safety management, quality assurance and the capacity to support residents and the client through completion and defects periods. Experience of delivering affordable housing and working through a dynamic purchasing system or similar public-sector route would strengthen a supplier’s position. Smaller firms may be relevant where they can demonstrate these capabilities directly or through a well-managed delivery partnership.
