Summary of the contracting process

Midlothian Council is inviting tenders for the design and construction of approximately 47 housing units located on Rullion Road in Penicuik, Midlothian, Scotland. This procurement falls under the 'works' category and is being carried out using an open procedure method, allowing electronic submissions. Key dates include the tender submission deadline on the 19th of June, 2025, with the procurement currently in the tender stage. The project will be executed in two stages, starting with a Pre-construction Services Agreement, followed by a full Design and Management contract. The council is focused on community benefits as part of this initiative within the housing and community amenities sector.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for construction firms, especially those specialising in off-site fabrication techniques such as 2D closed panel systems. Given that the project encompasses both design and construction, firms with capabilities in architectural design and construction management will find this opportunity particularly lucrative. The open procedure allows wide participation, making it an excellent growth opportunity for both local and international businesses looking to expand their portfolios in the UK housing sector. The requirement for programme and project execution quality ensures that firms with proven expertise in delivering complex projects will be well-placed to compete.
