What is being bought

Published requirement description

Guinness Developments Limited ("GDL") intends to enter into a build contract with GEDA Construction Company Limited ("GEDA"). This scheme is a traditional land and build "package deal" brought to GDL by GEDA, which will result in the construction of 64 affordable rented homes on land off Chesterfield Road, North Wingfield, Derbyshire. GEDA have arranged to purchase the site from the local authority (Derbyshire County Council) and have completed initial design work up to RIBA stage 3. The package deal will be comprised of GDL entering into a JCT Design & Build contract for the construction of the new homes on the land with GEDA (which is the subject of this notice), and a simultaneous purchase of the land from GEDA by The Guinness Partnership Ltd., GDL's parent company (an exempt transaction under Procurement Act 2023).

Please note that as above, the contracting authority for the build contract under under PA2023 will be Guinness Developments Ltd. GDL is a subsidiary of The Guinness Partnership Ltd. (TGPL) but is a contracting authority in its own right. Ownership of the properties will be transferred to TGPL upon practical completion. The transaction for the purchase of land will be directly between Geda and TGPL.

Why no open competition
Single Suppliers Technical Reasons
Published justification
The reasons why Guinness Developments Limited considers that this direct award justification applies is because: (a) the Supplier is prepared to sell the land only as part of arrangements that also include its development. (b) GDL and the North East Derbyshire District Council have significant unmet need in the locality of the development, evidenced through long housing waiting lists. (c) There is no other land on more…the market which is available for social housing development within reasonable timeframes local to the unmet need for development.

    Status
    cancelled (8 May 2026) — This termination notice is being issued to correct an administrative error. This notice was published incorrectly for The Guinness Partnership Ltd., rather than Guinness Developments Ltd. which is a subsidiary of Guinness and a contracting authority in its own right. This notice was also published incorrectly as a PA23 Transparency Notice, whereas the procurement was actually subject to the more…transition protections under the Act, and was instead subject to PCR15. The correct notices have already been published under Guinness Developments Ltd.'s account under Notice Identifier 2025/S 000-012107 and Procurement identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-04faec. That process has now been completed in accordance with the requirements of PCR15 and relevant notices published.
