The project, which falls under the construction industry category, is situated in Exeter, UK (region UKK43). As of 13th January 2026, the procurement reached the award stage, with SKINNER CONSTRUCTION LIMITED being selected as the supplier. The primary goal is the reconstruction and completion of Laing Easiform homes that were partially developed due to the insolvency of a prior contractor. The procurement method employed was below-threshold open competition, reflecting an open, transparent process. The contract is set to commence on 2nd February 2026, concluding on 31st August 2026. This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in construction works to build their business by participating in complex redevelopment projects. Companies with expertise in managing non-traditional construction methodologies, particularly those involving poured concrete walls, will find this tender particularly beneficial. The project's requirements for innovative design and construction approaches, aligned with regulatory standards and complex site conditions, also offer attractive prospects for businesses providing structural renovation solutions. The procurement process has been designed to engage capable and experienced suppliers, thus fostering an environment for growth and development within the industry. ## Notice Laing Easiform homes are a form of non-traditional construction built from the 1920s to 1970s using in-situ poured concrete walls within reusable steel formwork. While not designated as defective under the Housing Defects Act 1984, some dwellings have reached the end of their economic life due to structural deterioration and corrosion of embedded reinforcement. As part of Exeter City Council's wider regeneration and housing quality improvement programmes, a number of Laing Easiform homes were earmarked for reconstruction in 2015. Several homes have since been demolished and rebuilt; however, a number of properties are incomplete following insolvency of the original contractor, resulting in yet to be commenced and part-built structures that have stood dormant for some time. Following a review of options, the current intention is to demolish these partially constructed dwellings. In some cases, this will involve the rebuilding of only one side of a semi-detached pair, where the adjoining dwelling remains occupied and under separate freehold. Exeter City Council is now preparing to re-engage the market to deliver the remainder of the homes, ensuring that the design, construction approach, and delivery model are appropriate to the complexity of the site and the various stages of progress across each of the properties. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Options: The Authority currently has confirmed funding for the initial contract term only.
