## Summary

Weaver Vale Housing Trust Limited commissioned the delivery of Castleleigh, a development of 24 new-build affordable homes in Northwich. The requirement covers construction works, construction consultancy, land acquisition and a pre-construction services agreement, forming a package to secure and develop the site. The main work category is building construction, with associated construction consultancy services. Delivery is in Northwich, Cheshire. The buyer is a housing trust serving the local area. The published scope identifies land costs of £600,000, works, consultancy fees and pre-construction services as parts of the overall development package, but this paragraph focuses on the nature and purpose of the requirement rather than its financial value.

The procurement is complete and was awarded by direct award to Chapter WBL Limited, an SME, on 10 September 2026. The award value is £5,028,121 excluding VAT and £5,678,942.20 including VAT. The award covers one lot and has a contract period from 28 September 2026 to 28 December 2028, with a possible extension to 28 December 2029. Renewal is permitted for planning, bad weather and services issues. The direct award rationale is that Weaver Vale must contract with Chapter WBL to secure the site because Chapter WBL will control it at exchange of contracts. A standstill period ends on 24 September 2026, with signature scheduled by 28 September 2026.

This award shows that Weaver Vale Housing Trust buys integrated development packages combining affordable-home construction with consultancy and site-related arrangements. Competitors seeking similar work will need credible capability to deliver new-build housing and manage construction consultancy within a coordinated package, rather than offering a narrowly defined trade service. Evidence of controlling or securing a suitable development site may be commercially important where land arrangements determine the contracting route. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that an SME with appropriate construction capacity, project management resources and access to relevant professional expertise could be a credible future competitor. Experience delivering affordable housing and managing planning, weather and service-related delivery risks would also be relevant.
