The work is housing construction, covering the design and build of the homes (CPV 45210000). This is a single-lot project, with the detailed requirements set out in the procurement documents. The contract is for construction at the Dalintober site; Campbeltown is the stated delivery location. The opportunity may suit contractors able to take responsibility for both design and construction of a residential development, rather than suppliers offering construction materials or standalone professional services. The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The tender set a submission deadline of 1 December 2026 at 16:00 UTC, with the award period due to begin at that time. The contract duration is 540 days. The estimated contract value is £10 million. Bids are to be submitted electronically in English and remain valid for 120 days after the deadline. This is one lot; variants are not permitted, and there is no provision for renewal or additional purchases. Assessment comprises an unscored SPD, followed by quality and price assessments, weighted as described in the procurement documents. Suitability requirements are set out in the SPD. Staff names and qualifications must be provided. The tender includes a subcontract clause and community benefits. The opportunity is suited to a contractor with the capacity to undertake an integrated design-and-build housing project and coordinate the full delivery of 37 affordable homes. Firms should be able to demonstrate suitability against the SPD requirements and provide the names and qualifications of staff proposed for the work. The assessment includes both quality and price, so bidders will need to present a credible delivery approach alongside a competitive commercial offer. Subcontracting is part of the requirement, making it relevant to main contractors able to manage specialist subcontractors as well as firms that may participate as subcontractors. The requirement also includes community benefits, offering scope for bidders with practical ways to deliver local benefits through their work. ## Notice The contract is for a design and build contractor to construct 37 affordable units at Dalintober, Campbeltown.
