## Summary

The public procurement process involves Torus62 Developments Limited as the buying organisation, and the project is titled "Contract for the Development of Flowers Lane and Purchase of 460 Additional Housing Units". The procurement falls under the site-development work category, located in the North West of England (UKD region). Currently, the procurement is at the contract update stage following award updates from June 2025, with its key activity being the addition of Phases 3 and 4 to the existing development project on Flowers Lane. The legal basis for this procurement is Regulation 72(1)(b) of the PCR 2015, indicating that modifications to the contract were made to include additional phases without changing suppliers due to economic and technical constraints.

This tender opens multiple avenues for business growth, particularly for companies specializing in residential development, site preparation, and infrastructure. Given that Castle Green Homes, a large-scale enterprise, has been awarded the contract, there is a considerable opportunity for subcontracting and collaboration for smaller construction firms and suppliers within the same region. The procurement method primarily employed was a limited process without prior advertisement, owing to the exclusivity and specific requirements tied to the Flowers Lane site and surrounding additionality sites. Thus, businesses with unique access to similar projects or expertise in large scale, phased residential developments would find themselves well-placed to contribute to or compete for similar future procurement opportunities.

## Notice

The development agreement relates to sale of Torus62 Developments Ltd's Flowers Lane site to the developer, who will provide build-out of 120 x s.106 units and provide a further 460 x housing units to Torus62 Developments Ltd across various additionality sites. The development agreement is being entered into by Torus62 Development's Ltd for the purpose of providing affordable housing that will support the existing and future needs of the local community.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Modification to add Phases 3 & 4 of the Flowers Lane housing development to the existing contract. Includes site preparation, infrastructure, and construction of residential units. Works are to be delivered by Castle Green under Reg. 72(1)(b) PCR 2015, as changing contractor is not possible for economic or technical reasons and would cause significant inconvenience or cost duplication.

### Procurement Information

Torus' Flowers Lane site benefits from full planning permission with the Section 106 requirement for a minimum of 30% affordable homes. Provisionally, the site was openly advertised to the market with proposals invited for any of the following: - i)The building out of the site ii)The purchase of the land iii)The building out of the s.106 units and the remainder of the site for the developer iv)Any other proposals. Given exceptional market conditions and significant costs, the building out of the site was not a viable option. Castle Green Homes Limited proposed to buy the land and provide build-out of 120 x Section 106 units and provide a further 460 x housing units to Torus at additionality sites. While alternative offers were received, none were comparable with Castle Green Homes Limited's proposal, which offered Torus three times the amount of additional affordable units via additionality sites compared to any other bid. Under Regulation 32(2)(b) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015, the contracting authority considers that the works can be supplied only by Castle Green Homes Limited, who hold exclusive rights of ownership over the additionality sites. Further, in accordance with Regulation 32(2)(b)(iii) in conducting a market test prior to use of the negotiated procedure, the contracting authority considers that there has been no artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement and that no reasonable alternative or substitute exists.
