UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Monmouthshire Housing Association Ltd is exploring a development opportunity at Phase B, Rockfield Farm, Undy, Monmouthshire. The proposed project is the final residential parcel at the site and has planning permission for 88 houses. It may involve disposing of land and/or appointing a developer under a development agreement or another contractual model to deliver the residential scheme. The requirement includes 13 affordable homes required through the existing planning obligation, with the potential for at least seven further affordable homes, subject to commercial viability, tenure, funding, programme and contractual arrangements. The remaining 68 homes would be for private tenure. The wider Rockfield Farm allocation covers mixed employment and residential development. Related work includes construction, property, planning, building consultancy and construction project management across the United Kingdom.

This procurement is at the planning and preliminary market engagement stage; it is not an invitation to tender. MHA is consulting the market before deciding the final commercial, contractual and procurement structure, including whether a two-stage competitive flexible procedure with dialogue would be suitable. The current proposal is one lot, above threshold, with an indicative value of £30,000,000 excluding VAT and £36,000,000 including VAT. The anticipated contract period is 1 May 2027 to 30 April 2032. Market engagement responses are expected by 28 August 2026, and publication of a tender notice is currently estimated for 18 September 2026. MHA is seeking views on planning constraints, land value, affordable housing additionality, programme, risk allocation, payment terms and the information bidders would need.

The engagement will suit residential developers, housebuilders and organisations able to structure and deliver a sizeable housing development, particularly those experienced in affordable and private tenure schemes. Relevant capability includes construction delivery, planning and technical coordination, development appraisal, land transactions, funding, phasing and construction project management. Suppliers should be prepared to advise on the effect of affordable housing obligations on land value, risk pricing and programme, including delivery of 13 planning-obligation homes and a possible seven or more additional affordable homes. Experience of development agreements, conditional contracts, land sales with obligations, building leases or comparable models would be useful. MHA is also seeking practical views on risk sharing, payment terms, planning and technical information, and the procurement structure needed for robust future proposals.
