Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement covered building construction work for 22 new homes and three commercial units on two sites known as Railway Street and Glebe Road in Chelmsford, Essex. The homes are to be built on land with planning consent, with the completed properties transferred to The Guinness Partnership Limited. Guinness Development Limited was the contracting authority for the construction contract, while The Guinness Partnership was the buyer. The arrangement also involved The Guinness Partnership purchasing the land from Chelmsford City Council, although that land transaction was separate from the construction work. The requirement was for a contractor to deliver the new-build development, including both residential and commercial accommodation, in Chelmsford.

This procurement has been awarded following a competitive selective process: a call-off from the Westworks Development and Construction dynamic purchasing system under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The tender submission deadline was 31 August 2025, and the contract was awarded on 19 September 2025 to T.J. Evers Limited. The awarded value is £6,121,703 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 19 June 2026 to 31 August 2028. The tender was identified as complete and the award is active. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The construction contract relates to the 22 homes and three commercial units across the Chelmsford sites.

For construction businesses, this award is evidence that The Guinness Partnership uses a dynamic purchasing system to appoint SMEs for substantial mixed residential and commercial developments. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to demonstrate the capacity to deliver new-build housing alongside commercial units, manage construction across more than one site, and work within an established development and construction procurement route. Experience of delivering projects with planning consent, coordinating land and development stakeholders, and meeting practical completion requirements would be commercially relevant. The successful supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that this scale of building work can be delivered by an appropriately resourced regional contractor rather than only by a major national construction group.
