Summary of the contracting process

Plymouth Community Homes Limited procured a contractor-led land and build project for 48 residential units at Carkeek Close, St Stephens, Plymouth. The work is construction of multi-dwelling buildings and individual houses (CPV 45211000), covering the delivery of the development rather than a separate supply of materials or professional service. Plymouth Community Homes Limited is the buying organisation. The selected contractor, Gilbert and Goode Limited, is based in St Austell and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The requirement concerns housing construction and development activity, so it is relevant to building contractors, developers and construction businesses with the ability to deliver a multi-unit residential scheme for a housing provider. The project is identified as one completed lot.

The procurement has reached the award stage and is recorded as complete. It used a direct award rather than an open competition. Gilbert and Goode Limited was selected for the Carkeek Close Land & Build award at a gross value of £11,340,000. The award date was 20 July 2026, with a standstill period ending on 30 July 2026. The contract period is scheduled to run from 31 July 2026 to 31 July 2030, and signature is scheduled for 31 July 2026. The direct award rationale states that Gilbert and Goode owns the land and is the sole developer. The procurement was above threshold and comprised one lot. The published rationale classification refers to exclusive intellectual property or rights, rather than a scored evaluation basis.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible competitor would need to demonstrate the capacity to deliver a substantial residential construction and development project over a multi-year period. Relevant capability includes building multi-dwelling housing, coordinating land and development interests, managing construction delivery, and completing a 48-unit scheme for a housing provider. This award also shows that the buyer has used a direct-award route where the selected business owned the land and was the sole developer, so control of the development opportunity and associated rights can be commercially decisive. Construction firms and developers that can combine land, development and build capability are better placed than suppliers offering construction services alone. The successful business was an SME, indicating that this scale of work is not confined to the largest contractors.
