UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Newark and Sherwood District Council commissioned construction of 10 new affordable homes as part of its HRA Phase 6 Lowfield Lane development. This is a house-building works contract, covering the construction of the homes. The named delivery location is not stated more precisely than the East Midlands region of England. The requirement is relevant to building contractors with experience delivering affordable housing developments and the capacity to construct a 10-home scheme for a district council. Gusto Construction Limited was selected to carry out the works.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The council used a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Gusto Construction Limited. The award date is not reported. The contract was signed on 28 February 2026 and runs from 28 February to 27 December 2026. Its value is £1,592,001 excluding VAT (£1,910,401.20 including VAT). No evaluation criteria are stated in the published details, so the basis on which competing offers were assessed cannot be described. The contract concerns construction of the 10 affordable homes; no more detailed breakdown of the works or evaluation method is set out in the available procurement information.

This award shows that Newark and Sherwood District Council buys affordable housing construction through limited competition below the procurement threshold. Contractors that could be credible for a comparable requirement should be able to deliver a complete small housing development, with the construction capability and project capacity to build 10 homes. Gusto Construction Limited, a Newark-based small or medium-sized enterprise, won this contract, demonstrating that a local SME was selected for the work. Housebuilders and general contractors with relevant affordable housing experience may therefore find this buyer's requirement relevant, particularly where they can manage delivery of a defined residential scheme. The award provides a concrete example of the type and scale of housing work the council has procured; it does not establish the council's evaluation criteria for future competitions.
