As a result the Council requires to secure land within the Pathhead area to assist with meeting that demand and policy ambition and to deliver its Affordable Housing Supply Programme. The area of land at Pathhead owned by Muir Homes Limited fits with that policy ambition. The contract for the purchase of land is an excluded contract under Regulation 11(1) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 (2015 Regulations). The Sellers have included as a condition of the sale of its land that the Council is required to enter into a construction contract with Muir Homes Limited for the construction of 11 no social rented units on the land being acquired. Without acquiring the land, the Council could not meet its policy in respect of affordable housing in the Pathhead area and the scheme would not be capable of progressing. As a result the Council progressed using the negotiated procedure without prior publication on the basis the works could only be provided by Muir Homes Limited on the basis that (i) for technical reasons competition is absent and (ii) Muir Homes Limited has exclusive rights in respect of the land and has taken steps within the missives to protect its exclusive rights. There is no reasonable alternative in the Shawfair area. The negotiated procedure without publication was carried out pursuant to Regulation 33 (1) (b) of the 2015 Regulations. Through this negotiated procedure, the Council has ensured that value for money has been achieved. The Council will not award the contract for the period of at least 10 days from the date of publication of this notice and will also issue a contract award notice. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/008241-2023 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Negotiated without publication of a contract notice | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Mar 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 21 Mar 2023 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £2,090,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MIDLOTHIAN COUNCIL | | Locality | DALKEITH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH22 1DN | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM11 East Lothian and Midlothian | | Local authority | Midlothian | | Electoral ward | Dalkeith | | Westminster constituency | Midlothian | | Delivery location | TLM73 East Lothian and Midlothian | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | MUIR HOMES | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 22 Mar 2023 at 08:50 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/008241-2023 ## Notice URLs - http://www.midlothian.gov.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000726712 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=726712 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/Search_AuthProfile.aspx?ID=AA00336 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
