Summary of the contracting process

Caledonia Housing Association procured construction works for social housing at Whitehill Court in Kirkintilloch. The requirement was a land-led design-and-build contract for a housing development, with the building contract forming a condition of the land sale. The buyer is a housing association based in Perth. The work falls within construction of buildings and social housing, with the main classification covering general building construction (CPV 45000000; the line-item classification is 45210000). The procurement covered one completed lot for the Whitehill Court development. This is relevant to housebuilders, design-and-build contractors and construction businesses able to deliver social housing schemes in Kirkintilloch and work with a housing association client.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Caledonia Housing Association used a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, justified because the land-led deal made the design-and-build contract a condition of sale. One bid was recorded, from an SME, and the lot was evaluated on price. Sim Building Group Ltd was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 2 December 2024 and is active, with a value of £4,486,532. The award covered the complete land-led design-and-build contract for Whitehill Court. The process was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement and treated as outside the scope of the relevant directive. No options were included.

This award indicates a substantial social housing construction requirement from Caledonia Housing Association, delivered through a land-led design-and-build arrangement rather than a conventional open competition. A credible future competitor would need to combine development and construction capability, or work effectively with a landowner and development partner where the land transaction drives the procurement route. Relevant businesses should be able to deliver new-build housing, manage design-and-build responsibilities and meet housing association requirements for social housing schemes. The successful bidder was an SME, showing that a business of this scale can be delivered by a smaller construction company. Contractors with strong building delivery, commercial pricing and experience of housing association work would be well placed for a comparable requirement from this buyer.
