Summary of the contracting process

ASTER GROUP LIMITED, a public authority sub-central government entity based in Devizes, UK, has completed a procurement process for a construction project titled "CAS-01050-L5L6H1 - Chawleigh CLT - Design and Build". This involves developing ten dwellings for social rent in Chawleigh, Devon. The contract was carried out using a direct procurement method under the category of works, with the procurement process below the threshold and without competition. The contract, which has been active since 17th September 2025, is scheduled to conclude on 16th December 2026, with the contract notice published on 19th June 2026. Woofenden Construction Limited, located in Kentisbeare, UK, has been awarded the contract, which is valued at approximately £2.66 million excluding VAT.

This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs engaged in building and housing construction work, particularly those specialising in social housing projects. With the procurement process already awarded to Woofenden Construction Limited, a small to medium-sized enterprise, it demonstrates the potential for similar businesses to engage in future government-led initiatives aimed at expanding social housing infrastructure. Companies that can offer innovative, efficient, and sustainable building solutions will be well-positioned to take advantage of upcoming opportunities in this sector. The project's strategic location in Devon further suggests potential involvement in regional growth development plans.
