Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Places for People appointed a main contractor for the Inns Court Green Family Accommodation Project in Bristol. The work is to convert the existing Care Centre at 30 Inns Court Green, Knowle, into 21 self-contained apartments for temporary social housing. This is a building refurbishment and construction project, with the contractor responsible for overseeing the conversion. Delivery is at the existing care centre in Knowle, Bristol.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to E.W Beard. The contract is active and was signed on 20 August 2026, at a value of £6,036,471.51. Four bids were received. The buyer used a restricted procedure through its Developments Contractors Dynamic Purchasing System, with a single-stage competition for registered suppliers in the Housing and Major Refurbishment categories operating in South West England. Quality accounted for 40% of the evaluation and cost for 60%. The process had one lot, which is recorded as cancelled, although the award and active contract are reported for that lot.

This award shows demand from Places for People for a main contractor able to manage the conversion of an existing care facility into multiple self-contained homes for temporary social housing. A credible competitor would need relevant housing refurbishment experience, the capacity to oversee a substantial multi-apartment conversion, and the ability to meet the buyer’s requirements for its Housing and Major Refurbishment work. The selection placed greater weight on cost than quality, while retaining a significant quality assessment, so suppliers would need to demonstrate both delivery capability and competitive pricing. The competition attracted four bids and was run through the buyer’s contractor purchasing system, restricted to suppliers registered in the relevant categories and operating in South West England.
