Summary of the contracting process

Guinness Developments Limited, a subsidiary of The Guinness Partnership, procured a traditional land-and-build package for 90 affordable homes on land east of Petersfield Road, also known as Bartons Road, in Havant. The scheme comprises 58 rented homes and 32 shared-ownership homes. The works are classified as building construction. The arrangement combines construction of the homes with the acquisition of the development site: Stonebond Properties (Guildford) Limited arranged to purchase the land from a private vendor, while Guinness Developments entered into the build contract. The properties are intended to transfer to The Guinness Partnership on practical completion. The land transaction is directly between Stonebond Properties and The Guinness Partnership. The contracting authority for the works is Guinness Developments Limited.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is recorded as complete. It used a limited procedure: a direct award without prior publication of a competition notice, under the transitional arrangements applying the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The stated justification was that the supplier would sell the land only with its development, that there was significant unmet local housing need, and that no other suitable land was available within a reasonable timeframe. Price was the award criterion. Stonebond Properties (Guildford) Limited was recorded as the successful supplier, with active awards and contracts. A contract valued at £26,230,000 was signed on 3 March 2026, and another contract of the same value was signed on 27 May 2026. The related lot is recorded as cancelled.

This opportunity demonstrates demand from Guinness Developments for an integrated land-and-build solution delivering affordable housing in Havant, rather than a standalone construction package. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need the ability to identify, secure and develop suitable residential land, manage planning submissions, and deliver new-build homes under a package arrangement. Experience in affordable housing would be particularly relevant, including delivery of both rented and shared-ownership properties and coordination with a housing association through practical completion and subsequent transfer. Strong residential construction capability, development finance, landowner negotiation skills and the capacity to deliver a substantial housing scheme would be important. The procurement also indicates that the buyer may use a direct award where a specific land opportunity is inseparable from the proposed development.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Following the issue of a VEAT notice in March 2026, Guinness Developments Limited ("GDL") has entered into a build contract with Stonebond Properties (Guildford) Limited. The scheme will result in the construction of 90 affordable homes on land on the East side of Petersfield Road, Havant, also known as Bartons Road, Havant. It will comprise 58 rented and 32 shared ownership properties. Stonebond have arranged to purchase the site from a private vendor and have submitted a detailed planning application. The package deal is comprised of GDL entering into a contract for the construction of new homes on the land with Stonebond Properties (which is the subject of this notice), and a simultaneous purchase of the land by GDL. The contracting authority for the purpose of the Procurement Regulations will be GDL. GDL is a subsidiary of The Guinness Partnership Ltd. (TGPL) but is a contracting authority in its own right. Ownership of the properties will be transferred from GDL to TGPL upon practical completion. The transaction for the purchase of land will be directly between Stonebond Properties and TGPL.

Procurement Information

The direct award without prior publication justification applies because: (a) the Supplier is prepared to sell the land only as part of arrangements that also include its development. (b) GDL and Havant Borough Council have significant unmet need in the locality of the development, evidenced through long housing waiting lists. (c) There is no other land on the market which is available for social housing development within reasonable timeframes local to the unmet need for development.
