## Summary

The procurement process is led by Aberdeenshire Council, seeking the development of new social housing at Sovereign Gate, Peterhead. This project involves the construction of 8 one-bedroom flats, 8 three-bedroom houses, and 4 four-bedroom houses, and is classified under the industry category of works. The procurement method used is limited, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, due to a planning obligation under Section 75 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997. The contract was signed on 25th August 2020, with a total contract value of approximately £2,744,115. The delivery location is Sovereign Gate, Peterhead, within the Aberdeenshire region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on construction and housing development, particularly those experienced in social housing projects. Companies with expertise in building residential properties, especially under the framework of planning obligations and affordable housing, would be well-positioned to compete. With the growing demand for social housing solutions, this contract aligns well with businesses looking to expand their portfolios in public sector projects.

### Procurement Information

The Contractor has offered to provide the Authority with 20 units for social housing in satisfaction of a planning obligation contained within an agreement with the Authority under Section 75 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997. The Authority intends to enter into a combined transaction to acquire the land upon which the dwelling houses will be built and for the construction of the dwelling houses in accordance with a specification approved by the Authority. This transaction is exempt from the requirement to advertise in the Official Journal of the European Union due to it being below the threshold for a public works contract and also because it is partly a contract to purchase land.
