Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

This contract is effectively closed to most small businesses: the £100 million estimated value, requirement to design and build 424 homes, three-year delivery programme, and need for proven capability on schemes of this scale means only large housebuilders with in-house design teams, significant balance sheet, and experience on major residential projects can realistically bid.

How to bid

This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
