Summary of the contracting process

Incommunities Limited commissioned the Bradford City Village development agreement with English Cities Fund and ECF (General Partner) Limited. The procurement covers construction and development works for a residential and urban regeneration scheme in Bradford, West Yorkshire, including site development, housebuilding, urban development construction and subsidised residential accommodation. The work is categorised as construction works and is intended to deliver the Bradford City Village project. The selected delivery team comprises a large development fund and its general partner, indicating a requirement for coordinated development and construction capability rather than a standalone supply of materials or individual trade services. The project combines residential delivery with wider regeneration and development activity, under arrangements that include intellectual property and exclusivity rights.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded through a direct award to English Cities Fund and ECF (General Partner) Limited. The stated reason was the buyer’s reliance on intellectual property and exclusivity rights, alongside technical reasons associated with a single supplier. The award was made on 24 June 2026, the contract was signed on 9 July 2026, and the contract period runs from 1 March 2027 to 1 March 2029. The awarded and contracted value is £31,628,530 gross, in GBP. There was one completed lot, covering the full development agreement. The award is above the relevant threshold. Evaluation was not conducted through a competitive tender; the procurement proceeded on the stated direct-award rationale.

For suppliers considering future work connected with this buyer’s development programme, the requirement demonstrates demand for substantial residential construction and urban regeneration delivery in Bradford. Credible competitors would need the capacity to support a multi-year development agreement, including site preparation, housebuilding and wider urban development works, and to coordinate delivery through a developer-led supply chain. The selected arrangement also shows the importance of demonstrating technical capability and a clear role within an established development partnership. Suppliers should be able to contribute to progress against an agreed works programme and support measurable local economic outcomes. The contract includes a target for 30% of supply-chain procurement to come from the West Yorkshire Combined Authority area, as well as a construction-employment target measured against the maximum commitment.
