## Summary

Places for People appointed a main contractor for the Inns Court Green Family Accommodation Project in Knowle, Bristol. The work is to convert the existing Care Centre at 30 Inns Court Green into 21 self-contained apartments for temporary social housing. The contractor oversees the project and carries out the construction work. This is a residential conversion and refurbishment requirement, rather than a new-build housing project.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to E.W Beard on 20 August 2026. Places for People used a restricted procedure. The estimated tender value and awarded contract value are both £6,036,471.51. The contract period runs from 29 September 2026 to 29 October 2027. The submission deadline was 20 August 2026. The published information does not set out the evaluation criteria, so no basis for comparing bidders is available here.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible competitor would need to demonstrate main-contractor capability: managing a building conversion from an existing care facility into multiple self-contained homes, coordinating the construction work and delivering accommodation suitable for temporary social housing. The award shows that Places for People has procured a substantial, single-site residential conversion involving 21 apartments, rather than a small maintenance task or a new-build scheme. Businesses with relevant refurbishment and residential construction experience, and the capacity to oversee a project of this scale, are the closest fit. The selected supplier was a large organisation; the procurement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.
