Summary of the contracting process

Salix Homes Developments Limited is undertaking the design and construction of 45 new apartments and 46 new houses on Kara Street, Salford, as part of a limited procurement process without publication of a contract notice. This project falls under the construction industry category, specifically related to multi-dwelling buildings and individual houses. The procurement stage is currently complete, with the contract awarded to Watson Construction Limited on 22 April 2021, valued at £14,751,000. The urgency of this project stems from the necessity to secure funding from Homes England, with completion required by June 2022 due to unforeseen circumstances surrounding the previous contractor's withdrawal.

This tender presents significant opportunities for construction companies, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in residential development, external works, and infrastructure improvements. Businesses with the capacity to respond quickly to urgent tenders and a proven track record in similar projects will find themselves well-suited to compete for future contracts with Salix Homes, particularly given the ongoing challenges posed by the current construction environment. The successful delivery of this project will not only meet housing needs in the area but also exemplify the potential for collaboration in public procurement to drive local economic growth.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Salix Homes Developments are entering into a construction contract with Watson Construction Limited for the design and construction of 45 new build apartments and 46 new build houses in a single phase including external works, drainage and improvements to existing highways. Salix Homes Developments Limited is appointing the contractor following the withdrawal of a previously appointed contractor procured through a call-off under a Framework Agreement.

Procurement Information

1. Salix Homes Developments Limited is satisfied the tests permitting reliance on Regulation 32(2)(c) are met: A. As far as is strictly necessary: Following a call-off under Regional Housing Framework, Salix Homes Developments Limited appointed a previous contractor for the design and construction of the works. Two weeks prior to contract award, the contractor withdrew from the contract for internal reasons. B. There are genuine reasons for extreme urgency: Salix Homes Developments Limited must award the contract to avoid the loss of funding from Homes England and to ensure that the scheme can be delivered by June 2022. C. The events that have led to the need for extreme urgency were unforeseeable: The late withdrawal of the previous contractor was unforeseeable. Salix Homes Developments Limited has undertaken an appraisal of the market and considers that there is no alternative available given the construction sector conditions including with restrictions and limitations on supply of both contractors and materials due to COVID-19. D. It is impossible to comply with the usual timescales in the PCR: Salix Homes Developments Limited has explored alternative frameworks including making a direct award under a framework. Supplier capacity is currently limited meaning this was not a feasible approach in view of the urgency.. Salix Homes Developments Limited considered running an accelerated procedure. However, due to urgency, there was no time to run an accelerated procurement that would have allowed Salix Homes Developments Limited to deliver the scheme within the timescales required by Homes England as funder and in view of other commercial and contractual obligations requiring practical completion of the project by June 2022. Any breach of such arrangements could lead to incurring unnecessary expense for the parties involved including the Local Authority as proposed purchaser of part of the scheme on completion. Having undergone one failed procurement, given the urgency, Salix Homes Developments Limited needed to ensure a solution could be achieved in a time critical fashion in order to satisfy funding conditions before the funding is withdrawn. The situation is not attributable to the contracting authority - Salix Homes Developments has not done anything to cause or contribute to the need for extreme urgency as the previous contractor withdrew from the contract for their own reasons.
