This procurement process, governed by the CELEX legal basis 32014L0024, is currently in the tender update phase following an amendment that extended the submission deadline to 21st August 2025. With the procurement method set as open, the tender falls under the "works" category, specifically targeting houses construction work, as classified within CPV 45211300. Interested parties must note that the procurement process requires pre-assembled modules to be delivered for on-site assembly, and the tender is to be submitted electronically. This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in innovative construction techniques, particularly those experienced in 3D module fabrication and assembly. The contract is particularly appealing to construction companies capable of meeting detailed quality criteria (60%) alongside competitive pricing (40%). The scope, which includes the potential for a pre-construction services agreement and subsequent SBCC 2016 D&M contract, is best suited for firms with the capacity to handle regulatory consents and engage in open book costing. Companies with expertise in off-site construction and pre-fabrication would find this project an excellent opportunity for growth, especially considering the project's £8 million valuation. ## Notice Design and construction of 23 Housing units utilising 3D off-site fabrication at Newtongrange Town Centre, Midlothian, Scotland. Preferably the 3D modules will be pre-plumbed and pre-wired delivered to site for assembly and connections. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Design and construction of 23 Housing units at Newtongrange Town Centre on two sites that are in close proximity.
