## Summary

Stoke on Trent City Council has completed the procurement process for the appointment of a principal contractor to undertake the construction of Doris Robinson Court, a 46-unit apartment block. Targeting the construction industry category, this procurement was concentrated around the Meir area in Stoke-on-Trent. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure, reflecting the council’s transparent approach, and was in the "award" stage as of 11 March 2026, following the award decision on 10 March 2026. The contract period is set from 1 June 2026 to 1 October 2027, and Torsion Construction Limited has been selected as the successful supplier for this project.

The construction of Doris Robinson Court emphasizes accessible and adaptable housing, offering significant opportunities for suppliers specialised in residential developments. Businesses ranging from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to larger construction firms were well-positioned to compete in this tender, with numerous SMEs submitting valid bids. This tender spotlighted a potential growth trajectory for companies keen on expanding their portfolios within the public housing sector, particularly catering to independent living solutions for those over 55. The open procedure also allowed diverse businesses to demonstrate their capability in technical quality and competitive pricing, fostering a competitive environment conducive for business growth.
