Summary of the contracting process

Procurement for Housing Ltd established a UK-wide route for non-residential building construction, covering new buildings and refurbishment using traditional and modern construction methods. The requirement includes principal contractor and full turnkey services for education, healthcare and emergency-services buildings. It also covers structural panelised and modular buildings, including prefabricated construction, and refurbishment of existing non-residential buildings. One project concerned extensive refurbishment of a late-1980s shopping centre into an education, arts and creative-studio venue, the Keighley Creative Hub. The purchasing organisation is Procurement for Housing Ltd, with its members able to use the arrangement. Delivery is across the United Kingdom, and the work is classified as building construction work (CPV 45210000).

The procurement has been awarded and the resulting contract is active. It used a selective restricted procedure to establish a dynamic purchasing system, with written submissions in English. The overall estimated value is £1,000,000,000. The arrangement is divided into four areas: turnkey modular buildings, turnkey panelised buildings, traditional construction, and refurbishment of existing buildings. Each area has a stated contract duration of 1,440 days, with no renewal or options and variants not allowed. The Keighley Creative Hub award was made to Construction North Group Ltd for Lot 1. The award is active, the contract was signed on 9 July 2025, and its value is £2,981,282.65. Two bids were received, both from SMEs; the recorded evaluation basis was price, described as 50/50.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Procurement for Housing and its member organisations for substantial UK-wide non-residential construction, rather than a single specialist building trade. Relevant competitors would need to act as principal contractors or turnkey providers and be able to manage complete construction or refurbishment projects. Capability in traditional construction, modular buildings, structural panelised systems and the refurbishment of existing buildings is relevant, with sector experience in education, healthcare, emergency services, arts venues and creative workplaces particularly aligned to the requirement. The route also indicates that SME participation is feasible: both recorded bids for the awarded project came from SMEs. A credible future supplier would therefore need sufficient delivery capacity, supply-chain control and experience coordinating complex public-sector building projects across the UK.
