Summary of the contracting process

Thenue Housing Association Limited procured the design and construction of an affordable housing development at Ruchazie Place in Glasgow. The project is described as approximately 12 homes. It is a land-led development: Sim Building Group Ltd owned the site and offered to transfer it to the Association for affordable housing, conditional on being appointed as the design-and-build contractor. The work is categorised as construction, covering delivery of the housing development at the named Glasgow site. This requirement combines residential development and construction with the transfer of the development land to the housing association.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Sim Building Group Ltd. The contract is active and was signed on 18 August 2026, at a value of £3,000,000. No contract start or end date is recorded. The Association used a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition. Its stated rationale was that Sim Building Group owned the required development site and made its transfer conditional on appointment as design-and-build contractor; the procurement cited protection of exclusive rights connected with site ownership and control. The process covered one lot, for the development at Ruchazie Place. The award record gives no separate award date or evaluation criteria.

For suppliers tracking this buyer’s affordable housing development work, this award shows demand for a combined land-led and design-and-build solution at a scale of approximately 12 homes. A credible competitor when a similar requirement returns would need to demonstrate the ability to deliver an affordable housing development and address site acquisition or control as part of the delivery proposal. Here, the selected contractor owned the site and its transfer was conditional on appointment, making control of the land central to the route used. The contract was awarded without prior competition, so this outcome is evidence of the buyer’s specific site-linked procurement, rather than evidence of a general competitive selection based on published technical or quality criteria.
