Summary of the contracting process

Midland Heart Limited is purchasing land and commissioning the construction of 105 residential homes at Wash Lane, Ravenstone. The work is a residential development, covering both the land purchase and building works. The development is intended to provide new housing; the procurement does not describe further specifications for the homes or associated facilities. The site is controlled by the selected developer, Miller Homes Limited, and the stated scope is tied to that site. This is a single development rather than a collection of unrelated building projects, with Midland Heart as the organisation buying the land and homes. The requirement combines property acquisition with delivery of new-build housing.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Miller Homes Limited on 22 September 2026. The awarded value is £26,329,509. The contract period runs from 28 October 2026 to 28 September 2031, with a possible extension to 28 September 2032 if construction is delayed. It was a direct award: Midland Heart said the developer’s ownership and control of the site meant competition was absent for technical reasons. The procurement comprised one lot. The recorded award relates to land purchase and works, classified as building construction. The award is active. The contract period therefore covers the combined acquisition and development requirement, with the extension provision specifically linked to build delays.

For suppliers seeking comparable work from Midland Heart, this award shows demand for a substantial, integrated housing development that combines control or acquisition of a suitable site with delivery of new residential units. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate access to land appropriate for the buyer’s requirements, together with the development, construction capacity and delivery management to build 105 homes. The chosen route also shows that site ownership and control can be decisive: the buyer justified a direct award on the basis that the developer controlled the site and competition was absent for technical reasons. Suppliers without comparable site control may need a clear alternative case for securing a suitable site and delivering the full land-and-works requirement. The work was awarded to a large housebuilder, indicating the scale of delivery involved. No particular accreditation or technical standard is identified.
