Summary of the contracting process

Coastline Design and Build Limited commissioned the delivery of 30 affordable homes for Coastline Housing at Ruan Minor Glebe in Cornwall. The works were procured as a package scheme under the Capital Funding Guide, using a JCT Design and Build contract. The requirement is house construction, covering delivery of the homes rather than a separately described service or supply. EBC Partnerships Limited was engaged as the developer and contractor. The named buyer is Coastline Design and Build Limited. The need arose in a specific area, and the site was controlled by EBC Partnerships, which was unwilling to sell it to another developer. The procurement therefore concerned development of this particular site, rather than a general housing programme across multiple locations.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to EBC Partnerships Limited. Coastline Design and Build Limited used a direct award because the identified housing need could be met only at the site controlled by EBC, with no alternative suitable sites and no willingness by EBC to sell the site to another developer. The award was made on 12 August 2026, and the contract was signed on 16 September 2026. The contract value is £6,559,560 including VAT. Its contractual period runs from 16 September 2026 to 6 April 2028. There was one lot, marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The source describes a direct award based on the site constraint; it does not set out a scored competition or comparative evaluation criteria.

For businesses assessing similar future work for Coastline, this award demonstrates demand for delivery of affordable housing through a site-specific design-and-build package. A credible competitor would need the capability to develop and construct multiple homes as an integrated project, and to manage design and construction responsibilities under a JCT Design and Build contract. The buyer monitors delivery through monthly site inspections and quality ratings, alongside monthly internal health-and-safety visits and independent external reviews at least every three months. Delivery is also monitored against funding requirements and reported to management and executives. Suppliers should therefore be equipped to maintain construction quality, robust health-and-safety controls, and reporting against delivery and funding milestones. In this case, access to the particular site was decisive: a future competitor would need a viable site that meets the buyer’s identified local housing need.
