Summary of the contracting process

Torus62 Developments Limited has completed a procurement process for the Pilch Lane New Build Development in Liverpool, under the industry category of construction works for housing. This procurement, which involved the direct awarding of a JCT Design and Build Contract, concluded with the selection of Breck Homes as the contractor. The procurement process was underpinned by the Procurement Act 2023, allowing a direct award due to Breck Homes owning the necessary land and holding exclusive rights for the project. The contract, valued at £6,615,986 GBP, encompasses the construction of 34 affordable homes, with work set to begin on 5th October 2026 and expected to finish by 31st May 2029. The procurement method used was a direct award, given the unique circumstances, without any reasonable alternatives to Breck Homes.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the construction sector, particularly those specialising in residential developments and capable of working with sub-central government public authorities. Given the comprehensive nature of the project and the direct award method, future collaborations or subcontracting opportunities may arise for related services within the construction industry. Businesses with expertise in building affordable housing and those possessing innovative construction strategies could find potential growth avenues through such contracts and related partnerships.
