Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council is procuring construction works to redevelop the former United Reform Church site in Clifton, Nottingham, for social housing. The project is intended to create housing on the former church site; the requirement is described as development, rather than simply the supply of building materials or a standalone service. Nottingham City Council is the buyer and provides local government services across the city. The work is to be delivered in Nottingham. The procurement is relevant to developers and construction businesses able to take on a social housing development on a former church site, including firms with the capability to manage both pre-construction and construction activities. The stated purpose is social housing provision, so suppliers should assess whether their development experience and delivery model fit that outcome.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The procurement has reached the tender stage. The deadline for questions was 25 November 2026 at 12:00, and the bid submission deadline was 2 December 2026 at 12:00. The planned award decision date was 11 January 2027. The contract period is scheduled to run from 25 January 2027 to 31 July 2028. The estimated value is £4,635,250 excluding VAT and £5,562,300 including VAT. There is one lot. Evaluation is weighted 60% on price and 40% on quality. The quality assessment covers pre-construction and construction methodology and resourcing, compliance with project specifications, post-completion support, defect prevention and customer care, and fire and building safety management.

The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. It is best suited to a developer or construction contractor able to deliver a social housing scheme on a former church site and resource both pre-construction and construction work. Bidders need to demonstrate how they will comply with the project specifications and provide post-completion support, prevent defects and deliver customer care. Fire safety and building safety management are explicit quality considerations, so relevant expertise and robust management arrangements will strengthen a bid. Price carries the greater evaluation weight, but quality accounts for a substantial share, making a credible delivery methodology and appropriately resourced team important alongside a competitive cost proposal.
