## Summary

Aberdeenshire Council has completed a procurement process for the development of new social housing at Golden Knowe, Banff. This project involves the construction of various residential units, including 16 one-bedroom flats, 4 two-bedroom flats, 4 two-bedroom houses, 12 three-bedroom houses, and 2 four-bedroom houses, in accordance with a planning obligation under Section 75 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997. The project commenced with an award notice dated 7th September 2020 and was executed through a limited procurement method without prior publication, with a contract value of £5,228,388. The procurement stage is now complete, and Springfield Properties Plc was awarded the contract. The project's delivery location is Golden Knowe, Banff, Aberdeenshire.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses looking to engage in social housing projects or construction works. Companies specialising in residential construction, particularly those with experience in affordable housing, would be particularly well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. The involvement of a local authority also suggests potential future contracts could arise as municipalities continue to develop social housing initiatives. Furthermore, businesses that can demonstrate compliance with planning obligations and regulations will find this a valuable avenue to grow their operations in the sector.

### Procurement Information

The Contractor has offered to provide the Authority with 38 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.
