Summary of the contracting process

Clarion Housing Property Development Service Limited is procuring a principal contractor to design and build 75 residential units at the Latimer’s Peacock Centre and Pipewell Avenue site in Gorton, Manchester. The requirement is construction work for multi-dwelling buildings and individual houses, covering both design responsibility and delivery of the completed development. The work is categorised as construction works and is intended for a housing development site in Manchester. It suits contractors able to take on principal-contractor responsibilities for a multi-unit residential scheme, including coordinating design and construction delivery as one package. The buyer is a housing property development organisation based in London, procuring the works for its Gorton development project.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure. Suppliers first submit a Project Specific Questionnaire (PSQ); the buyer intends to shortlist at least three suitably qualified and experienced suppliers to be invited to submit tenders. Enquiries and tender responses were due by 5 October 2026 at 17:00. The contract period is 22 February 2027 to 31 August 2028, with the award decision due by 22 February 2027. The estimated value is £16,200,000 excluding VAT, or £19,440,000 including VAT. The single lot is evaluated on quality, weighted at 100%. Economic and technical selection requirements are assessed through the PSQ, with electronic submission permitted in English.

This opportunity is suited to established principal contractors with the capability to design and build a 75-unit residential development and manage delivery from design through construction. Suppliers need relevant technical and economic capacity and must demonstrate suitable qualifications and experience through the Project Specific Questionnaire before progressing to the tender stage. The procurement is therefore aimed at businesses able to lead a substantial housing project, coordinate design and construction teams, and deliver multi-dwelling buildings rather than supply isolated trades or materials. It may also suit construction groups with in-house design capability or reliable design partners, together with the operational capacity to manage a sizeable development programme in Manchester. The quality-led evaluation makes the strength of the proposed delivery approach particularly important.
