UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Accent Homemade Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Accent Housing Limited, commissioned the design and construction of 16 homes at Church End, Hilton, Cambridgeshire. This is a residential housing development involving both design and building work, rather than a supply-only contract. The work is located in Cambridgeshire. Accent Housing Limited is the buyer, while its subsidiary was identified as the contracting authority for the project. The requirement brings together architectural or housing-design capability and delivery of a multi-home construction project. The scope centres on delivering the 16 homes at the named site.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Validum Limited. The award was made on 11 September 2026, through a below-threshold limited competition. One lot covered the project, and eight bids reached the final stage, including seven from small and medium-sized enterprises. The award value is £3,814,785 excluding VAT and £4,577,742 including VAT. The contract period runs from 7 December 2026 to 30 June 2028. The original description made the award subject to approval by the buyer’s Executive and Capital Investment Committee. The award is recorded as active.

For suppliers assessing future housing work for Accent Housing, this award shows demand for combined design and construction delivery of a 16-home residential scheme in Cambridgeshire, awarded through a limited competition below the procurement threshold. A credible competitor would need to bring design capability together with the capacity to build multiple homes on a defined site and manage delivery across the project period. The competition attracted eight final-stage bids, seven from SMEs, indicating that smaller businesses participated in this procurement. Validum Limited, the selected supplier, is itself an SME. The requirement therefore provides evidence that the buyer’s housing programme can suit suppliers able to deliver a complete, relatively compact residential development, rather than only large-scale housebuilders or separate design and construction providers.
