## Summary

The West Northamptonshire Council initiated a procurement process for the Ecton Brook Affordable Housing Development, focusing on constructing 18 affordable homes in Northampton, United Kingdom. This project, awarded on the 2nd of March 2026, falls under the construction industry and forms part of the Council's Affordable Homes Delivery Plan aiming to build 650 homes annually by 2029/30. The procurement process utilised an open procedure, and the contract for this initiative was awarded to Lindum Group Limited with a total value of approximately £4,449,453. The intended completion date spans from the 1st of April 2026 to the 31st of March 2029, with an option to extend for an additional year.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the construction sector, particularly those experienced in housing and infrastructure development. Given the scale and requirements of the project, large-scale construction companies with expertise in multi-dwelling projects and infrastructure works are well-suited to compete. Additionally, the necessity for site preparatory works, dwelling construction, and infrastructure suggests a favourable opportunity for firms specialising in design and build contracts to expand their portfolio and demonstrate their capabilities in delivering comprehensive housing solutions. Businesses interested in such opportunities need to be registered on the In-Tend Portal to participate.

## Notice

West Northamptonshire Council ('WNC' or 'the Council') is a unitary authority serving residents across Northampton, Daventry, Towcester and Brackley. WNC owns over 11,000 homes which are managed by our arms-length management organisation, Northamptonshire Partnership Homes (NPH), with the Council now responsible for progressing new build developments. Under our Affordable Homes Delivery Plan, the Council and our partners are working to increase the number of affordable homes being built across the area - with a target of 650 homes per year by 2029/30. This small scheme forms part of our commitment to build more council homes as set out in the Plan. WNC is inviting tenders for the construction of 18 affordable homes on the site of the former Ecton Brook care home under a JCT Design & Build Contract. Through this procurement exercise we intend to appoint a single supplier to be the Principal Contractor for these works.

Design work has been progressed to RIBA Stage 3. The site is located on Ecton Brook Road, Northampton, NN3 5EN.
