## Summary

The Guinness Partnership Limited, acting on behalf of its subsidiary Guinness Development Limited, has awarded a contract for the construction of seven affordable homes in Chelmsford, Essex. The contract, aimed at building new homes on St Michaels Drive and Pease and Payne Place, was secured through a selective procurement method as part of Westworks Development and Construction DPS under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The build will be executed by Duncan Cameron Hutchinson Ltd and is expected to commence on 18 May 2026, concluding by 30 June 2028. The transaction involves the purchase of land from the Chelmsford City Council, which has been obtained for a nominal sum, with planning consent already in place. The total contract value is £2,400,676, and the project falls under the “Building construction work” category.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in the construction sector, particularly those specialising in residential projects. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to engage, as the project aligns with their capacity and expertise. As the construction of affordable homes is a priority in many regions, businesses engaged in this project could strengthen their portfolios and enhance their market credentials. The involvement in a public sector project under recognised frameworks provides a definitive boost and a chance for similar future engagements.
