Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council’s affordable housing programme includes the design and construction of 56 new homes for social rent in Kirkcaldy. The homes are to be delivered through a design-and-build contract linked to a section 75 planning obligation. The requirement forms part of the Council’s wider programme to provide affordable rented housing across Fife. The work is classified as construction of residential buildings. The delivery location is Kirkcaldy.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Allanwater Homes. The contract is active and was signed on 26 March 2026, with a recorded contract value of £13.5 million. The procedure was limited and proceeded without a prior published competition: the stated rationale was the developer’s exclusive rights to the site, including the requirement that the design-and-build contract be awarded to that developer. The award criterion recorded for the requirement was price. The procurement was for one package covering the 56 homes; no separate awards are recorded.

For suppliers tracking Fife Council’s social housing requirements, this award shows demand for a complete design-and-build delivery of new affordable homes, rather than construction-only work. A credible competitor for a comparable future requirement would need to demonstrate the capacity to design and build a 56-home residential scheme and deliver housing intended for social rent. Site control or a route to securing the relevant development rights may also be commercially important: in this case, the appointed developer’s exclusive rights to the land determined who could receive the contract. The recorded evaluation basis was price, so a competitive offer would need to combine delivery capability with a clear, cost-effective proposal.
