UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

LiveWest Homes Ltd is seeking a design-and-build contractor for the Kings Tamerton development in Plymouth. The construction project is described as a scheme of up to 52 homes, comprising one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom units. The outline planning application covers 70 affordable, net-zero-energy homes and one small commercial unit for flexible use; access is the only matter not reserved in that application. The appointed contractor is expected to deliver the scheme in line with the planning and design criteria in LiveWest’s employer requirements. The work is residential development and construction (CPV 70111000).

The buyer invited design-and-build contractors to submit offers through a single-stage open tender. The tender submission deadline was 4 December 2026 at 12:00, and the deadline for questions was 25 November 2026 at 12:00. The expected contract period runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029, around 24 months. The estimated value is £14 million excluding VAT (£16.8 million including VAT). The procurement is one lot. Evaluation is weighted 70% for quality and 30% for commercial price. The planned end of the award period is 18 January 2027.

This opportunity suits design-and-build contractors able to deliver residential construction against specified planning and design requirements. The scheme’s mix of home sizes and net-zero-energy objective will be relevant to suppliers with experience coordinating housing development and delivering energy-efficient homes. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable bidders. Quality carries greater evaluation weight than price, so a strong delivery proposal aligned with the employer’s requirements is important. The expected scale is a multi-home development with an additional small commercial unit.
