Summary of the contracting process

South Kesteven District Council procured project and cost management services for the construction of 11 affordable new-build homes on Wellington Way in Market Deeping. The requirement covers professional management of the development and its costs, supporting delivery of the residential scheme from the client’s perspective. The work is classified as construction project management services. The council is the public-sector buyer, and the delivery location is Market Deeping, Lincolnshire. This opportunity is relevant to consultancies and built-environment firms providing project management, cost management or related client-side support for affordable housing and new-build construction. It is focused on one residential development rather than a broad property or construction services framework, so suppliers would need an interest in managing a defined housing scheme for a district council.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to AtkinsRéalis UK Limited, which holds an active contract with South Kesteven District Council. The contract was signed on 22 October 2025, runs from 26 January 2026 to 14 December 2026, and is valued at £35,950 excluding VAT (£43,140 including VAT). The evaluation basis is the selection of a supplier for project and cost management services for the Wellington Way affordable housing scheme. The award covers the single lot and the recorded contract is active. The procurement is therefore an awarded, contract-stage opportunity rather than a current invitation to submit bids.

For competitors, this award demonstrates a defined council requirement for combined project and cost management on an affordable housing new-build scheme. Firms well placed for similar work would be able to provide construction project management alongside cost control, coordinating the delivery of multiple residential units and advising a public-sector client. Credibility would come from demonstrable experience managing new-build housing projects, controlling development expenditure and working through the practical requirements of council-led schemes. The scale indicates a focused commission for 11 homes, suited to a team able to manage a discrete development rather than only major national programmes. AtkinsRéalis UK Limited’s selection also shows that an established, large professional services business was considered suitable for this type of council commission.
