Galliford Try has secured a \u00a332.8m contract to deliver 126 homes at City Place in Chester for Clarion Housing.<\/p>\n

The design-and-build job from the housing association will see the tier one contractor design and construct the residential units alongside associated external works, utilities and drainage.<\/p>\n

The contract is valued at \u00a327.3m excluding VAT.<\/p>\n

Clarion Housing Property Development Services appointed Galliford Try<\/a> following a competitive flexible procedure under the Procurement Act 2023.<\/p>\n

Two tenders were received and assessed at final stage, with Winvic Construction named as the unsuccessful bidder.<\/p>\n

The award decision was taken on 29 October 2025, with assessment summaries issued to tenderers the same day.<\/p>\n

The standstill period is due to end on 27 February, with the earliest contract signature date set for 3 March.<\/p>\n

The contract is expected to run from 3 March 2026 to 29 February 2028, a period of just under two years.<\/p>\n

Clarion Housing Property Development Services, a subsidiary of Clarion Housing Group, acted as contracting authority.<\/p>\n

Clarion Housing Group Limited provided tender administration support on the procurement.<\/p>\n

The contract forms part of the broader City Place regeneration scheme in Chester that includes more than 46,450 square metres of Grade A office accommodation, alongside associated retail and leisure facilities, 200 residential units and new public realm.<\/p>\n

The overall scheme – valued at \u00a3120m by data provider Glenigan – is being developed by Morgan Sindall subsidiary Muse Developments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n
