Summary of the contracting process

Norwich City Council has successfully awarded a contract for the Milecross Development project, which involves the construction of 67 new residential dwellings under the industry category of construction work. The process was facilitated by the central purchasing body, Places for People Group Limited, with the award officially confirmed on 22nd December 2025. The procurement method used was a restricted procedure, selective in nature, designed to ensure quality delivery. This award was achieved through the Procurement Hub's Development Contractor Dynamic Purchasing System, and the project is set in the United Kingdom. Lovell Partnerships Limited has been contracted to undertake this development with a contract value of £20,000,000.
