Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the design and construction of 23 housing units at Newtongrange, Midlothian, is overseen by Midlothian Council, based in Dalkeith, Scotland. This project falls under the category of "works" in the housing sector, leveraging innovative 3D off-site fabrication techniques. The tender is currently at the tender update stage, with critical amendments to submission deadlines now extended to 21 August 2025 at 12:00 and opening conditions at 13:00 on the same day. The procurement employs an open procedure method, allowing for electronic submissions via the Public Contracts Scotland website.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in construction and modular housing innovations. Companies adept at 3D off-site fabrication, which involves pre-plumbing and pre-wiring, would find this tender particularly lucrative. The total project value is estimated at £8,000,000, providing substantial business growth potential for successful bidders. Additionally, firms experienced in two-stage project delivery processes would be well-suited to compete, as the project will require entering a pre-construction services agreement before finalising the design and costs with Midlothian Council. This project also aims to incorporate community benefits, aligning with broader social value objectives in procurement.
