Summary of the contracting process

Coastline Design and Build Limited procured the delivery of 30 affordable homes at Ruan Minor Glebe for Coastline Housing. The requirement covers housing construction and the associated design-and-build delivery of a package scheme acquired under the Capital Funding Guide. The work is to be delivered at Ruan Minor, in Cornwall. The appointed contractor is EBC Partnerships Limited, a Truro-based small and medium-sized enterprise. The procurement is focused on the development and construction of new affordable housing, rather than general building maintenance or standalone professional services. It is therefore most relevant to housing developers, design-and-build contractors and construction businesses with experience delivering complete residential schemes for a public or housing-sector client.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 12 August 2026 following a direct award. Coastline Design and Build Limited selected EBC Partnerships Limited because the only site meeting the identified housing need was controlled by EBC, which was not willing to dispose of it to another developer. The award is for works valued at £6,559,560 gross, above the relevant threshold, under one completed lot. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 29 February 2028, with signature scheduled for 14 September 2026. The contract is to be delivered using a JCT Design and Build form. The award was made to EBC Partnerships Limited, and the published award basis identifies exclusive rights associated with a single supplier.

Although this contract has been awarded, it provides a clear benchmark for suppliers tracking affordable housing demand from Coastline Housing. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to deliver a complete residential design-and-build scheme, manage construction of around 30 affordable homes and work within the Capital Funding Guide. Experience with JCT Design and Build contracts would be directly relevant, as would the capacity to coordinate design, site development and construction through a single delivery arrangement. The procurement also shows that Coastline may use a direct route where a particular housing need is tied to a site under one enterprise’s control. Developers and construction SMEs able to combine site-specific delivery with housing-sector contracting experience are therefore the closest match.
