Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council’s affordable housing programme includes the design and construction of 56 new homes for social rent in Kirkcaldy. The development forms part of the Council’s wider delivery of affordable rented housing across Fife. The work is residential housing construction, with the homes to be built on land in Kirkcaldy. The procurement was arranged through a Section 75 planning obligation, linking the development contract to the planning and land arrangements for the site.

The procurement is complete and Allanwater Homes was selected for the design-and-build contract. Fife Council used a limited procedure without a published competition because the developer held exclusive rights to the site, and the sale required the contract to go to that developer. Price was the stated award criterion. The recorded contract value is £13.5 million, and the contract was signed on 26 March 2026. The lot is marked cancelled, while two active awards and two active contracts are recorded for Allanwater Homes, each with the same value and signature date; the figures are reported separately and not added together. The award date and contract period are not recorded.

For a supplier looking towards comparable future housing work for Fife Council, this procurement shows demand for an integrated residential design-and-build capability, specifically for new affordable homes intended for social rent. Credibility would depend on being able to deliver a multi-home development and meet the Council’s housing programme requirements, as well as having the necessary rights or delivery position for the site where the land arrangements shape the route to contract. This award was made to the site developer because of its exclusive land rights, rather than through an open price competition. Suppliers should therefore monitor how land ownership and planning obligations affect future projects, and build relationships and capability around delivering affordable housing developments for the Council.
