Following the issue of a VEAT notice in Mar 2025, Guinness Developments Limited ("GDL") has entered 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 arranged to purchase the site from the local authority (Derbyshire County Council) and completed initial design work up to RIBA stage 3 prior to completion of the land purchase and entering into contract.
The package deal is 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.
The contracting authority for the build contract under under PA2023 is 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 was directly between Geda and TGPL. Additional information: The contract value above is excluding VAT, as no VAT is applicable or payable on this contract.

- Why no open competition
The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons
- Published justification
Guinness Developments Limited ("GDL") considers that in this case the use of the negotiated procedure without prior publication is justified on the basis of:
Regulation 32(b)(ii) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 - single supplier - technical reasons
The direct award without prior publication justification applies 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 the market which is available for social housing development within reasonable timeframes local to the unmet need for development.
Publisher note: The contract value above is excluding VAT, as no VAT is applicable or payable on this contract. This contact was deemed to be within the scope of the Public Contract Regulations 2015, rather than Procurement Act 2023, due being substantially in progress prior to the commencement of the Act and therefore covered by the transition arrangements.
