UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Karbon Homes established a framework for principal contractor services to deliver extra care facilities and associated housing works. The requirement covers construction of specialist residential accommodation, including schemes with up to 124 beds, together with related housing development work. It is a works opportunity focused on construction rather than consultancy, supplies or routine facilities management. Delivery is across the North East and Yorkshire and the Humber. Karbon Homes is the buying organisation, with Cohesion Consult supporting the preparation and evaluation of the invitation to tender. The framework is intended for contractors able to take responsibility for major extra care and housing construction projects and their associated works.

The procurement is complete and awards were made on 2 September 2026 through an open procedure. It has one lot and is a closed, multi-supplier framework using ranking, with mini-competitions available by exception. Robertson Construction Group Limited was awarded £120m excluding VAT (£144m including VAT); Caddick Construction Limited £66m excluding VAT (£79.2m including VAT); and Esh Construction Ltd £22m excluding VAT (£26.4m including VAT). Each award runs from 21 September 2026 to 20 September 2031, with an option to extend in 12-month increments to 20 September 2033. The framework’s estimated value is £200m excluding VAT (£240m including VAT). Evaluation weighted quality 60%, social value 10% and cost 30%.

This award shows Karbon Homes’ demand for large-scale principal contractors able to deliver extra care facilities and specialist residential accommodation alongside wider housing works. The successful suppliers are large construction businesses, indicating that credible competitors will need substantial delivery capacity, resources and the ability to manage complex schemes at scale. Experience in extra care, supported or specialist housing construction would be directly relevant, as would the ability to coordinate associated housing works and demonstrate strong quality performance. Social value formed a defined part of the evaluation, so suppliers should be able to evidence practical social value delivery as well as competitive cost and technical quality. The framework’s ranked multi-supplier model also rewards consistently strong tender performance and the capacity to respond when work is allocated.
