Summary of the contracting process

Caledonia Housing Association procured construction works for social housing at Whitehill Court in Kirkintilloch. The requirement was a land-led design-and-build contract, covering building construction as part of a land-led deal where the design-and-build contract was a condition of sale. The buyer is a Scottish housing association based in Perth. The work location is Kirkintilloch, in East Dunbartonshire. The procurement was classified as construction work, with building construction as the more specific activity. The requirement was organised as a single lot. This is therefore relevant to housebuilders, design-and-build contractors and construction businesses able to deliver social housing through a land-led arrangement, rather than to suppliers of standalone goods or routine services.

The procurement is complete and has reached award. It used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, justified because the design-and-build contract was a condition of sale in a land-led deal. The single lot is marked cancelled, but two active award and contract records name Sim Building Group Ltd as supplier. Both contract records show a value of £4,486,532: one was signed on 2 December 2024 and the other on 8 July 2026. The award records do not provide award dates or separate values. Evaluation was based on price. One bid was recorded, and it came from an SME. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This outcome shows Caledonia Housing Association’s demand for social housing delivered through a land-led design-and-build arrangement, with price as the recorded evaluation basis. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to combine housing construction capability with the capacity to undertake design-and-build delivery and participate in a land-led deal. The successful supplier was recorded as an SME, indicating that the requirement was delivered by a business of that scale rather than only by a major national contractor. Relevant businesses should therefore be able to demonstrate practical building construction experience, control of design-and-build delivery, and the commercial capacity to make a land transaction part of the solution. Experience delivering housing for a registered social landlord would strengthen that position.
