Summary of the contracting process

Lancaster City Council is procuring works to redevelop an existing garage site on Hastings Road in Lancaster and deliver four new Council houses. The scheme comprises demolition of the existing garages, site preparation and construction of two cottage-style apartments and two terraced houses. The homes will use Etopia modern methods of construction (MMC) panels. The requirement combines housing construction with demolition and enabling works, and is shaped by site constraints, the use of MMC, design quality, energy efficiency and social value. It will suit contractors able to manage a complete small residential redevelopment, including site clearance, preparation, structural construction and coordination of the specified panel-based construction approach. The work is classified as construction of houses and multi-dwelling buildings, with associated demolition and building construction activities.

The procurement has reached tender: Lancaster City Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Responses are to be submitted electronically, with the tender closing at 11:00 UTC on 23 October 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 December 2027. The procurement has one lot, covering the complete Hastings Road Development, with an estimated gross value of £1,020,000 including applicable taxes. Evaluation is described as below-threshold evaluation. Tender documents are accessed and completed through the ProContract North eTendering portal; suppliers must register, express an interest and submit their response through that system. The requirement is for works rather than goods or standalone services, and the stated procurement method is an open competition.

This opportunity suits a building contractor or construction partnership with the capability to deliver a complete small housing development from demolition and site preparation through to finished residential buildings. Relevant strengths include experience of constrained urban or previously developed sites, residential construction, cottage-style apartments and terraced housing, and the coordination of multiple construction activities within a single programme. Suppliers should be able to work with Etopia MMC panels and demonstrate an understanding of modern methods of construction, design quality and energy-efficient delivery. The requirement also favours organisations able to build social value into their approach and manage the practical interfaces between demolition, ground preparation, panel installation and conventional building work. It may suit firms with suitable specialist subcontractor networks as well as main contractors able to take overall delivery responsibility.
