Summary of the contracting process

Torus62 Developments Limited is procuring a land and construction works package for the Pilch Lane New Build Development in Liverpool. The requirement is to construct 34 affordable homes on a new development site, combining the sale of the required land with delivery of the building works as one transaction. The main category is housing construction, classified under CPV 45211100. The buyer is a sub-central public authority and housing developer. The selected supplier, Breck Homes, owns the land needed for the development, which is central to the procurement arrangement. The requirement therefore covers both development land and design-and-build construction, rather than a standalone building contract on land already owned by the buyer.

The procurement is complete and was directly awarded to Breck Homes under a JCT Design and Build Contract. The award notice was dated 29 July 2026, with an award value of £6,615,986 gross. The contract covers one lot and is scheduled to run from 5 October 2026 to 31 May 2029, with a possible maximum extent to 31 May 2030; dates are estimated and the term lasts until the works are completed. Contract signature was scheduled for 10 August 2026. The authority’s rationale is that Breck Homes owns the land and the land sale and construction works are dependent on one another, giving the supplier exclusive rights and leaving no reasonable alternative. The award is marked pending.

This award indicates demand from Torus62 Developments Limited for integrated affordable-housing development, where land ownership and construction delivery are combined. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to control or secure suitable development land, deliver design-and-build housing, and manage the legal and commercial integration of a land transaction with construction works. Relevant capability includes planning and development coordination, housing design, construction delivery, programme management and completion of multiple affordable homes on a new site. Suppliers should also be able to demonstrate that their proposed land and delivery model can produce the required outputs without practical alternatives, since the buyer used exclusive-rights reasoning to justify a direct award. The scale calls for an established housing developer or a similarly capable construction-led development business.
