## Summary

The Royal Borough of Greenwich is procuring the development and purchase of 90 homes at Royal Arsenal Riverside in London. This is a housing development and construction requirement, covering the works needed to deliver the homes and their purchase by the council. Royal Arsenal Riverside is the named delivery location. Berkeley Fifty-Five Limited, Berkeley Homes (East Thames) Limited and The Berkeley Group PLC are involved as the selected supplier group: the first is the landowner, the second the developer and the third the guarantor. The council’s stated requirement is therefore for a complete development arrangement rather than a standalone construction service, with responsibility linked to specific sites at Royal Arsenal Riverside.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected through a direct award. The award decision is dated 18 September 2026, with the standstill period ending on 1 October 2026. The selected suppliers are Berkeley Fifty-Five Limited, Berkeley Homes (East Thames) Limited and The Berkeley Group PLC. The award value is £34,546,423 excluding VAT and £41,455,707.60 including VAT. The contract period is from 2 October 2026 to 30 March 2032. The council relied on section 41 of the Procurement Act 2023 and Schedule 5, paragraph 5, stating that the landowner has exclusive rights to develop the particular sites and that no reasonable alternatives could deliver the required works. The award is above threshold and covers one lot.

This outcome demonstrates demand from the Royal Borough of Greenwich for a substantial, long-term housing development at Royal Arsenal Riverside, delivered through an integrated landowner, developer and guarantor structure. A competitor seeking comparable work from this buyer would need credible capability in residential development and construction, including the capacity to deliver 90 homes on defined sites and to manage the associated purchase arrangement. Control of, or a strong relationship with, development land would be commercially important where the buyer considers site-specific rights decisive. The selected structure also indicates that the buyer values clear separation of development responsibility and financial backing, so future suppliers would need a suitably robust corporate group or equivalent guarantees.
