## Summary

Torbay Council’s St. Boniface scheme is a design-and-build construction project for 25 homes for social rent. The homes are being developed on the site of the former St Boniface Church, in conjunction with Boniface Community Homes Ltd. The work is construction, delivered in Torquay. The contract uses a JCT Design & Build form, bringing design and construction together under one arrangement. This requirement is relevant to contractors with the capability to deliver affordable housing projects and manage design through to construction for a local authority and its community housing partner.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Boniface Community Homes Ltd. Torbay Council made a direct award without competition, using a below-threshold route. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026, with a recorded award value of £4,046,500 including tax. Its period runs from 14 August 2026 to 30 November 2028, with provision for extension to 30 November 2029. The contract includes options for changes to the employer’s requirements, including changes to design, quality, quantity, materials, work and site or working arrangements. The contract also allows an extension of time where specified relevant-matter criteria are met. The process had one lot; the award is active and the contract is active.

The award shows that Torbay Council has procured a 25-home social-rent development through a design-and-build contract with a community housing partner. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to demonstrate the ability to coordinate design and construction, deliver housing at this scale, and work effectively with both a council and a community housing organisation. Experience delivering homes for social rent and managing a former church site would be relevant to this specific scheme. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that a smaller business was able to take on the contract. The direct award route means this procurement did not test suppliers through a competitive tender, so it does not establish what evaluation criteria or qualifications would apply in a future procurement.
