Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council procured pre-construction and design services for RIBA Stages 2 to 4 of the Highways mid-rise housing scheme. The work covers developing the scheme from concept design through technical design and preparation for construction, providing building consultancy services associated with housing growth. Delivery is in Leeds, at the Highways scheme location in the LS1 area. The council is the buying organisation. Although the procurement is classified under works, the immediate requirement is for professional design and pre-construction services rather than the physical construction of the housing development. The opportunity is therefore relevant to building consultancies, architectural and engineering practices, and multidisciplinary design teams with experience supporting mid-rise housing schemes through the later design stages.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Leeds City Council used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 14 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Morgan Sindall Construction & Infrastructure Ltd on 9 September 2026 for £3,188,940.40. The contract period runs from 21 September 2026 to 25 February 2028. The published procurement records the award as active and the tender as complete. The procurement was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The requirement covered a single scope for the Highways mid-rise housing scheme, rather than separately awarded lots. The award establishes the scale and route used by the council for this requirement.

For a future requirement of this type, credible competitors would need to provide integrated pre-construction and design capability across RIBA Stages 2 to 4, with the capacity to support a mid-rise housing scheme through concept development, developed design and technical design. The award to a large construction and infrastructure business indicates that the buyer accepted a supplier able to combine design delivery with substantial organisational capacity and construction-sector understanding. Experience working with local authorities or public-sector housing programmes, managing multidisciplinary teams and coordinating design information would strengthen a supplier’s position. Businesses would also need to understand call-offs from framework agreements, including the requirements and competition route of the relevant framework. This opportunity points to demand suited to established, larger-scale providers rather than smaller or voluntary-sector organisations.
