## Summary

Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council, a public authority and sub-central government entity, is actively seeking engagement for an Accelerated Affordable Housing project on three Council-owned sites within the region of UKC11, United Kingdom. The initiative is currently in the tender stage, having progressed from the planning stage, with the invitation to tender set to close at 12:00 (noon) on 10th August 2026. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the project encompasses construction work categorized under CPV code 45211000 for multi-dwelling buildings and individual houses, with a projected value of £5,400,000. The contracting process will prioritise quality (80%) alongside price (10%) and social value (10%), with tender submissions required to be electronically submitted via the OPEN system.

This tender offers a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in construction and housing services, especially those capable of delivering multi-dwelling residential projects. It is particularly appealing to SMEs due to the suitability classification, and the Council’s openness to variant bids further enhances the potential for creative, viable solutions. Businesses skilled in addressing site-specific constraints or with experience in delivering affordable housing projects are well-positioned to compete. The contracting authority's need to increase the supply of 1-bedroom units to support care leavers and vulnerable groups indicates a sustained demand for affordable housing solutions, so participating businesses can establish or expand their footprint in the public sector housing market.

## Notice

Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council is engaging with Registered Providers (RPs) to understand interest in an Accelerated Affordable Housing project on 3 Council owned pilot sites. The role taken by the Council to encourage the provision of new affordable housing in the borough, has not been sufficient to address the Boroughs housing needs, and this is particularly evident in the lack of new build 1 bed properties. A pipeline of 1 bedroom units is critical to support the successful move on of our care leavers, vulnerable adult and homeless households who are ready to move to living independently. Without access to sufficient affordable housing numbers the Council will inevitably face increasing budget pressures across these key service areas. The following 3 sites have been identified for disposal for affordable housing delivery: Londonderry Road Stirling House Parkside Resource Centre

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Options: Variant Bids The Council's strong preference is for delivery of all three sites as a single package. However, the Council recognises that there may be viability or deliverability constraints affecting individual sites and is therefore permitting variant bids to explore alternative delivery options. Compliant Bid Requirement All bidders must submit a compliant bid covering the delivery of all three sites in accordance with the requirements set out in this tender. Only compliant bids will be evaluated and scored as part of the formal tender process. Variant Bid Option In addition to a compliant bid, bidders may submit one or more variant bids, which may include: - Delivery of fewer than all three sites - Alternative combinations of sites - Alternative approaches to managing site-specific constraints or risks However: Where a site is excluded, bidders must clearly set out: - The reasons for exclusion (including viability or delivery constraints) - The key barriers to delivery - Any measures or interventions that could support future delivery of that site Minimum Outcome The Council's minimum acceptable outcome is the delivery of at least two sites, subject to viability and deliverability. The Council reserves the right to prioritise proposals which maximise site delivery. Submission Requirements Variant bids must be clearly identified and submitted separately from the compliant bid. Bidders must provide sufficient detail to enable the Council to fully understand the implications of the proposed variant Evaluation of Variant Bids Variant bids will not be scored and will not influence the evaluation of compliant bids The Council may consider variant bids at the preferred bidder stage to inform discussions and agree a final delivery approach The Council reserves the right to require delivery of all three sites as part of any final agreement
