The procurement method used was a limited procedure with a rationale to secure land in an area of high housing demand to meet the Council's policy objectives. The contract award notice will be issued after a minimum 10-day period from the notice publication date. This tender opportunity created by Midlothian Council is specifically aimed at businesses interested in construction works for social housing projects. Due to the unique technical requirements and exclusive rights associated with the land, Muir Homes Ltd is the selected supplier for this contract. Businesses with experience in affordable housing construction projects and expertise in negotiated procurement procedures would be well-suited to compete for this opportunity. ## Notice Sale of ground with a requirement to enter into a contract for the Design and Construction of 11No. homes for social rent, Crichton Road, Pathhead ### Lot Information Lot 1 Sale of ground with a requirement to enter into a contract for the Design and Construction of 11No. homes for social rent, Crichton Road, Pathhead ### Procurement Information In terms of Midlothian Council's affordable housing policy, it is noted that the Pathhead area is one of the Council's locations with highest demand. As a result the Council requires to secure land within the Pathhead area to assist with meeting that demand and policy ambition and to deliver its Affordable Housing Supply Programme. The area of land at Pathhead owned by Muir Homes Limited fits with that policy ambition. The contract for the purchase of land is an excluded contract under Regulation 11(1) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 (2015 Regulations). The Sellers have included as a condition of the sale of its land that the Council is required to enter into a construction contract with Muir Homes Limited for the construction of 11 no social rented units on the land being acquired. Without acquiring the land, the Council could not meet its policy in respect of affordable housing in the Pathhead area and the scheme would not be capable of progressing. As a result the Council progressed using the negotiated procedure without prior publication on the basis the works could only be provided by Muir Homes Limited on the basis that (i) for technical reasons competition is absent and (ii) Muir Homes Limited has exclusive rights in respect of the land and has taken steps within the missives to protect its exclusive rights. There is no reasonable alternative in the Shawfair area. The negotiated procedure without publication was carried out pursuant to Regulation 33 (1) (b) of the 2015 Regulations. Through this negotiated procedure, the Council has ensured that value for money has been achieved. The Council will not award the contract for the period of at least 10 days from the date of publication of this notice and will also issue a contract award notice. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR474297 | | Notice type | OJEU - F15 - Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Mar 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 21 Mar 2023 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £2,090,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MIDLOTHIAN COUNCIL | | Locality | DALKEITH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH22 1DN | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM11 East Lothian and Midlothian | | Local authority | Midlothian | | Electoral ward | Dalkeith | | Westminster constituency | Midlothian | | Delivery location | TLM73 East Lothian and Midlothian | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | MUIR HOMES | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 22 Mar 2023 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F15 - Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR474297 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR474297 Sale of ground with a requirement to enter into a contract for the Design and Construction of 11No. homes for social rent - Sale of ground with a requirement to enter into a contract for the Design and Construction of 11No. homes for social rent, Crichton Road, Pathhead ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.midlothian.gov.uk - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=726712 - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000726712 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
