Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Greenwich commissioned construction of 28 affordable-rent homes under its Greenwich Builds Direct Delivery Programme. The project covers four schemes: Aberford Gardens (7 homes), Heavitree Close (6), Southwood Road (8) and Westmount Road (7). The council’s stated aims are to increase affordable housing, reduce spending on temporary accommodation and tackle homelessness in the borough. Planning permission had been secured, or was expected by the time the contractor was appointed. This is a housing construction works contract, classified as construction work, for delivery in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, London.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Building Associates Ltd, with an award date of 2 April 2026. The signed contract is active and runs from 21 August 2026 to 24 April 2028. Its value is £8,952,552.62 excluding VAT (£10,743,063.14 including VAT). The estimated procurement value was £11,986,000 excluding VAT. The council used an open procedure. One lot covered all four schemes; tenders were evaluated on quality (60%) and price (40%). Economic and technical selection criteria applied, as set out in the tender documents. The submission deadline was 20 November 2025, and the deadline for enquiries was 13 November 2025.

This award demonstrates demand from Greenwich for a multi-site programme of affordable housing construction, delivered as a single package spanning four schemes and 28 homes. A credible competitor for similar work would need the capacity to manage several residential sites and deliver new homes to an agreed programme and budget, while meeting construction safety requirements. The contract’s performance measures covered delivery against key milestones, budget control and accidents reportable under RIDDOR. Quality carried greater evaluation weight than price, so a strong future competitor would need to evidence both sound delivery planning and value for money. The selected supplier was a small or medium-sized business, and the procurement was marked suitable for SMEs.
