Summary of the contracting process

North Lanarkshire Council procured the design and construction of new-build social housing and associated infrastructure works at Hill Street, Caldercruix, Airdrie. The requirement covers construction work for multi-dwelling buildings and individual houses (CPV 45211000), with the council as the buying organisation. The project sits within a Scottish procurement framework for new-build housing and concerns a development of between 10 and 30 housing units. The works are local to Caldercruix, in Airdrie, and combine design responsibility with physical construction and supporting infrastructure. This is therefore relevant to housebuilders, main contractors and design-and-build firms able to deliver social housing schemes and their associated external or enabling works in North Lanarkshire.

The procurement has been awarded. North Lanarkshire Council used a direct award, with the contract awarded to a single supplier without competition, through Scottish Procurement Alliance H2 New Build Housing, Workstream 1, Lot 3. McTaggart Construction Ltd was awarded the work for £5,979,914. The award relates to the Hill Street, Caldercruix social housing and infrastructure scheme, and the associated contract is recorded as active. The tender process recorded a closing date of 1 March 2028. One bid was recorded. The opportunity was evaluated through the framework call-off and direct-award route rather than an open competition, so the key commercial precedent is a single-supplier award for a defined 10–30-unit new-build housing project.

For a supplier targeting future North Lanarkshire Council housing work, this award demonstrates demand for integrated design-and-build delivery rather than construction-only services. A credible competitor would need the capacity to manage a social housing development of 10–30 units, coordinate design and construction, and deliver associated infrastructure and external works. Experience of multi-dwelling and individual-house construction would be directly relevant, alongside the systems needed to deliver public-sector housing to the council’s requirements. The route also shows the importance of access to the Scottish Procurement Alliance H2 New Build Housing framework, particularly its workstream for schemes of this size. Main contractors with strong housing delivery capability and suitable framework credentials are best placed to compete when comparable requirements return.
