New Build Housing Framework Agreement

The City of Edinburgh Council (CEC) wishes to appoint contractors to a Framework Agreement to deliver elements of the Council’s House Building Programme. The Council and RSL partners have an ambition to construct approximately 25,000 new affordable homes. There are also opportunities for other organisations to utilise the Framework Agreement. In order to realise these goals, the Council requires an efficient route to market for the design and construction of affordable, new build housing across the city. Typically, the Council’s delivery model for new build housing is via the following methods; (a) On land currently owned by the Council or acquired for this purpose (b) By purchasing parts of developments being built privately. (c) On Council owned land where, due to complexity, it enters into development partnerships (generally for mixed tenure and mixed-use developments) The New Build Housing Framework Agreement that this SPD relates to will primarily, but not exclusively, manage projects delivered via option (a) as above. However, successful organisations should be amenable and able to facilitate the procuring of options (b) and (c) where required. This Framework Agreement is open to all organisations named in this notice. However, it is only mandatory for tenderers to be able to provide works within the NUTS code locations detailed within this notice. Where successful tenderers can provide works outside of the required region, this will be communicated to all stakeholders post award.
