OJEU - F15 - Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Midlothian Council has awarded a contract to Dundas Building Company for the completion of 28 partially finished homes in Shawfair. This procurement falls under the industry category of general public services and involves construction works (CPV code 45000000). This contract, identified as C375.142 Dundas Shawfair, reached the award stage on 15 November 2024. The reason for the direct award without a prior call for competition is due to urgent circumstances beyond the council's control. The previous contractor went into administration in January 2024, leaving the homes unfinished. The contract is valued at £4,000,000 and was signed on 1 November 2024. The overall location for the delivery of the works is at Shawfair, within the UKM73 region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the construction industry, particularly those experienced with residential projects and capable of handling urgent completion schedules. With Dundas Building Company already well-integrated into the project's locale, businesses engaged in construction materials, interior finishes, and ancillary services for residential builds might find profitable avenues for collaboration. SMEs with expertise in these areas can take advantage of the accelerated timelines and potential for long-term partnerships with both the contractor and Midlothian Council. The nature of the project and its direct award process highlight the necessity for reliable and efficient service providers to manage urgent public sector needs.

Notice Information

Notice Title

C375.142 Dundas Shawfair

Notice Description

This is a voluntary ex ante transparency (VEAT) notice. Contract for the completion of 28 partially completed homes

Lot Information

Lot 1

The Council had previously employed Stewart Milne (SM), to build 28 affordable homes on the site at Shawfair (the Works). Before completing the Works, SM went into administration in January 2024 leaving 28 unfinished homes on the site. The contract is for the completion of the Works.

Procurement Information

This is the direct award of a regulated procurement without first advertising the opportunity. Justification for selected award procedure: Reasons of urgency brought about by circumstances outwith the control of the contracting authority, the authority must proceed to award a contract without delay. The Council is concerned if it does not take immediate action to take steps to finish the Works as soon as possible, the condition of the partially built 28 affordable homes will deteriorate significantly. This is compounded by the fact that the Works site, is adjacent to and partially surrounded by a private development which is ongoing. During the construction of the private development (a period of 24 months), access across the private development site operated by Dundas Building Co. Ltd. (Dundas) to enable the construction of the affordable housing will be severely restricted. This would mean that the Council would not be able to complete the Works within a timescale to avoid the deterioration of the Works. BY appointing Dundas, this would enable the Works to proceed alongside the private development minimising the deterioration.
