Procurement Information

In terms of Midlothian Council's affordable housing policy, it is noted that the Bonnyrigg area is one of the Council's locations with highest demand. As a result the Council requires to secure land within the Bonnyrigg area to assist with meeting that demand and policy ambition and to deliver its Affordable Housing Supply Programme. The area of land at Bonnyrigg owned by Walker Holdings (Scotland) Limited fits with that policy ambition. The contract for the purchase of land is an excluded contract under Regulation 11(1) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 (2015 Regulations). The Sellers have included as a condition of the sale of its land that the Council is required to enter into a construction contract with Springfield Properties plc for the construction of 70 social rented units on the land being acquired. Without acquiring the land, the Council could not meet its policy in respect of affordable housing in the Bonnyrigg area and the scheme would not be capable of progressing. As a result the Council progressed using the negotiated procedure without prior publication on the basis the works could only be provided by Springfield Properties plc on the basis that (i) for technical reasons competition is absent and (ii) Walker Holdings (Scotland) Limited has exclusive rights in respect of the land and has taken steps within the missives to protect its exclusive rights. There is no reasonable alternative in the Bonnyrigg area. The negotiated procedure without publication was carried out pursuant to Regulation 33 (1) (b) of the 2015 Regulations. Through this negotiated procedure, the Council has ensured that value for money has been achieved. The Council will not award the contract for the period of at least 10 days from the date of publication of this notice and will also issue a contract award notice.
