Summary of the contracting process

Midland Heart Limited is procuring a development agreement covering the purchase of land with partially constructed units and the construction of 53 dwellings. The requirement combines a property transaction with housing development and building construction work. It is therefore relevant to contractors, developers and construction businesses able to take responsibility for completing residential units, as well as organisations able to support land acquisition and development delivery. The buyer is Midland Heart Limited, based in Birmingham. The selected supplier is Bespoke Construction Services Limited, a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Telford. The work concerns one complete requirement rather than multiple separately described packages, and is classified as works, with building construction as the stated activity.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award. Midland Heart selected Bespoke Construction Services Limited on 28 August 2026 for the development agreement, citing the agreement relating to the land and partially constructed site, together with an obligation to enter into a construction contract. The award value is £11,344,000 including tax, in GBP. The contract period is from 5 October 2026 to 30 October 2027, with a possible extension to 29 October 2028 if delays affect the build. One lot was completed. A signature milestone was scheduled for 25 September 2026. The direct award rationale is recorded as single-supplier technical reasons, rather than an open competitive tender. The award is active.

This outcome indicates demand from Midland Heart for integrated residential development delivery: securing a site with partially completed units and completing a 53-home scheme. A credible future supplier would need construction capability for residential buildings, practical experience taking over or finishing partially constructed developments, and the capacity to manage delivery through to completion. The selected business profile shows that an SME can be appointed for this type of requirement. Suppliers should also be able to demonstrate why their technical capability, site-specific knowledge or position in relation to the land makes them suitable where Midland Heart uses a direct-award route. Experience coordinating land, development and construction obligations would strengthen a competitor’s position when comparable requirements return.
