Summary of the contracting process

Weaver Vale Housing Trust Limited procured a package deal for the construction of 54 new affordable homes at Crewe Road, Winterley. The requirement combines the land needed for the development with the construction works, rather than treating them as separate procurements. The work is classified as construction. The scheme is intended to deliver new affordable housing, with the supplier responsible for providing the completed homes under one package. The buyer is a public housing organisation based in Northwich. The requirement therefore suits housebuilders, developers and construction businesses able to deliver residential developments and, where relevant, secure or control development land. It may also be relevant to firms that undertake package development arrangements combining land provision with housing construction.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded directly to Breck Homes Limited on 8 May 2026. The direct award was justified because Breck Homes controlled the land required for the 54-home development, while other nearby parcels were considered unsuitable. The award value was £12,898,494 including tax, comprising £1,900,000 for land and £10,998,494 for the build. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026 and runs from 21 May 2026 to 31 August 2028, with a possible extension to 31 August 2029. Renewal is linked to inclement weather and services connections. The single lot was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award was above the relevant threshold.

This outcome shows that Weaver Vale Housing Trust buys affordable housing through integrated land-and-build packages, and that control of a suitable development site can be decisive in a direct award. A future competitor would need credible residential construction capability, access to or control of land suitable for the required housing scheme, and the capacity to deliver dozens of new homes as one package. The buyer’s contractual expectations also point to the importance of demonstrating effective programme management, reliable delivery against agreed timescales and tight control of cost variance from budget. Suppliers should be able to provide meaningful social value contributions and opportunities alongside the construction works. Small and medium-sized housebuilders with development expertise may be well placed for comparable requirements.
