Summary of the contracting process

Coastline Design and Build Limited is procuring the construction of 40 affordable homes in Connor Downs, Cornwall, for Coastline Housing. The development is Phase 2 and is being delivered as an acquisition and construction scheme under the Capital Funding Guide. The works are housing construction, with Robertson Developments Ltd contracted to deliver the scheme. This requirement combines development of the homes with their acquisition by the housing provider, rather than a standalone building-services commission. The project addresses an identified local housing need, and the specified location is Connor Downs.

The procurement is complete and Robertson Developments Ltd was selected through a direct award. Coastline said the only site meeting its identified need was controlled by Robertson, which would not sell it to another developer; the buyer therefore engaged directly with the site owner. The award value is £8.86 million gross. The contract period runs from 12 November 2026 to 30 November 2028, and the award is dated 13 October 2026. There is one lot, marked suitable for SMEs. The award records a JCT Design and Build contract and covers construction of the homes. No comparative evaluation criteria are set out; the stated basis for selection was the site’s exclusive availability through Robertson Developments Ltd.

For firms tracking Coastline’s housing pipeline, this award signals demand for affordable housing delivered through an acquisition-and-works arrangement, with the land position shaping the procurement route. Robertson Developments Ltd was selected because it controlled the only site Coastline considered suitable and would not sell to another developer. A future competitor would therefore need to bring a credible, deliverable site aligned with the buyer’s local housing need, as well as the ability to undertake housing construction under a design-and-build arrangement. The single lot was identified as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller businesses may be relevant where they can demonstrate the necessary development, land and delivery capability. The award provides a scale benchmark for this 40-home scheme, not a guarantee that future requirements will use the same site or route.
