Summary of the contracting process

Southampton City Council has conducted a procurement process for the "SCC-SMS-0906 Affordable Housing Framework Mini Tender 3 - Plots 10 & Hare & Hounds Site," aiming to maximise the potential of these plots for affordable housing. The process, categorised under "Construction work" (CPV Code: 45000000), has reached the award stage, with Sovereign Housing Association Limited identified as the supplier. This initiative is part of Southampton’s efforts to enhance social rented property offerings and ensure financial viability for developers. The procurement phase culminated recently, following a tender period that ended on 22nd October 2025, and the contract will commence on 1st August 2026, running through to the end of 2029.

This tender presents substantial growth prospects for businesses in the construction and social housing sectors, especially those capable of meeting rigorous quality standards prescribed by the Council. Firms with expertise in developing financially viable and socially responsible housing projects are well-positioned to benefit from such contracts. Although the suitability criteria do not prioritise SMEs or VCSEs, businesses with robust capabilities in construction and project management are well-suited to leverage opportunities like these to expand their portfolio in the public housing sector. The location in Southampton further enhances the attractiveness for developers with interests in the United Kingdom and neighbouring regions.
