Summary of the contracting process

Midlothian Council has awarded a contract titled "C375.142 Dundas Shawfair" under the industry category of Construction work (CPV: 45000000). The contract focuses on the completion of 28 partially constructed affordable homes in Shawfair, a region classified under UKM73. The contract was necessitated by the previous contractor, Stewart Milne, entering administration in January 2024, which left the homes unfinished. This procurement stage is in the Award phase, with the contract's key date being the signing on 1 November 2024. The procurement method utilised was a limited award procedure due to urgent circumstances, allowing immediate action to prevent deterioration of the homes.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction works, particularly those experienced in completing housing projects. Given the urgency and critical nature of this project, businesses capable of efficiently mobilising and managing construction activities in constrained environments will find this opportunity particularly advantageous. The contract awarded to Dundas Building Company, an SME, underscores the potential for similar enterprises to secure substantial public procurement contracts by demonstrating reliability and quick turnaround capabilities in urgent scenarios.

Notice Title

C375.142 Dundas Shawfair

Notice Description

This is a voluntary ex ante transparency (VEAT) notice. Contract for the completion of 28 partially completed homes

Lot Information

Lot 1

The Council had previously employed Stewart Milne (SM), to build 28 affordable homes on the site at Shawfair (the Works). Before completing the Works, SM went into administration in January 2024 leaving 28 unfinished homes on the site. The contract is for the completion of the Works.

Procurement Information

This is the direct award of a regulated procurement without first advertising the opportunity. Justification for selected award procedure: Reasons of urgency brought about by circumstances outwith the control of the contracting authority, the authority must proceed to award a contract without delay. The Council is concerned if it does not take immediate action to take steps to finish the Works as soon as possible, the condition of the partially built 28 affordable homes will deteriorate significantly. This is compounded by the fact that the Works site, is adjacent to and partially surrounded by a private development which is ongoing. During the construction of the private development (a period of 24 months), access across the private development site operated by Dundas Building Co. Ltd. (Dundas) to enable the construction of the affordable housing will be severely restricted. This would mean that the Council would not be able to complete the Works within a timescale to avoid the deterioration of the Works. BY appointing Dundas, this would enable the Works to proceed alongside the private development minimising the deterioration.
