Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Aster Group Limited, a public law-governed housing association based in Devizes, UK, concerns the construction of housing at two Community Land Trust (CLT) schemes: Ilfracombe and Mortehoe-Woolacombe. This works category tender, classified under CPV 45211100, was conducted through an open procedure offering two lots, with a procurement method focused on competitive bidding evaluated 40% on technical/quality and 60% on price/commercial criteria. The tenders for both Lot 1 (Ilfracombe CLT) and Lot 2 (Mortehoe and Woolacombe CLT) were actively awarded by May 2026, with contracts signed in early 2026. The initial tendering process took place in 2024, with a closing deadline on 16 December 2024 for submissions.

This procurement presents notable opportunities for construction businesses, particularly those specialising in building residential properties. SMEs like Poltair Construction Limited and Clayewater Homes Ltd, successful suppliers for the respective lots, exemplify the capacity for smaller enterprises to secure contracts of this scale, valued at over £8 million collectively. Businesses capable of delivering high-quality building work while maintaining competitive pricing will find this type of tender enriching for their portfolio, especially if they can manage projects spread over multiple locations. With electronic tendering and payment systems in place, UK-based construction firms equipped with robust digital infrastructures will be well-aligned with the tender's submission and award processes.
