This project, classified under housing and community amenities, entails building five purpose-built homes for young adults who were previously looked-after and staff, on council land leased long-term. The council will provide 24/7 on-site support, funded by them. Interested parties are to submit a market engagement questionnaire by 12:00 on Wednesday, 25 February 2026, following the initial notice published on 12 February 2026. Future notices are projected for 1 June 2026, as the process advances from planning towards tender. This procurement presents significant opportunities for contractors specialising in residential construction and support services for vulnerable communities. Companies with expertise in building social housing, particularly those experienced in designing facilities that cater to young people transitioning to independent living, are well-suited to bid. The project not only offers a chance to collaborate with South Lanarkshire Council, a regional authority, but also promises long-term leasing benefits while contributing to social welfare goals. Businesses that can offer comprehensive construction services combined with the logistic capability to facilitate on-site support will find this an attractive opportunity for growth and to expand their footprint within the community development sector. ## Notice South Lanarkshire Council is seeking a development partner to construct new housing for young people, who were previously looked-after children.
