## Summary

Darlington Borough Council has completed the award process for a framework agreement regarding a Joint Venture Residential Development to be executed between 1st October 2025 and 30th September 2027. The procurement falls under the "Construction work" category (CPV: 45000000) and is situated in the region of UKC13 (Darlington). The procurement method used was limited, specifically an award without prior publication of a call for competition, due to ongoing project time constraints. The total contract value amounts to GBP 300,000,000, and the award was signed on 20th December 2024.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in residential construction and development, especially those capable of entering joint ventures. Companies with a track record of handling large-scale projects similar to ESH Homes Limited, which secured the contract, would be particularly well-suited. Engaging in such a prominent project can significantly boost a company's portfolio and market presence within the industry. The partnership with Darlington Borough Council further solidifies the potential for stable and lucrative business growth.
