Smart & Co (Contractors) PLC for the design and construction of 36 new affordable homes at Primrose Lane, located in Rosyth, Fife. This procurement falls under the industry category of Housing and Community Amenities. The contract is a result of a limited procurement process, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, due to reasons including the protection of exclusive rights and absence of competition for technical reasons. The procurement process, which has reached the award and contract stages, was completed on 28th May 2026, with the contract currently marked as active. The total contract value is £8,825,776 GBP. This project provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in housing development, particularly those capable of meeting contractual obligations concerning design and build under land use exclusivity conditions. Enterprises specialising in affordable housing solutions, infrastructure development, and public sector contracts might find this an attractive sector. Companies with the ability to deliver projects in alignment with Section 75 planning obligations and possess expertise in navigating localised regulatory frameworks could find avenues for growth and potential future collaborations with local authorities such as Fife Council. ## Notice This notice is to advise that Fife Council intend to contract with J Smart& Co (Contractors) PLC to design and build 36 new homes by way of a section 75 planning obligation ### Lot Information Lot 1 Fife Council is in the process of delivering new Affordable Housing for social rent throughout Fife and these new properties form part of that delivery programme.
