Following the issue of a VEAT notice in March 2026, Guinness Developments Limited ("GDL") has entered into a build contract with Stonebond Properties (Guildford) Limited.
The scheme will result in the construction of 90 affordable homes on land on the East side of Petersfield Road, Havant, also known as Bartons Road, Havant. It will comprise 58 rented and 32 shared ownership properties.
Stonebond have arranged to purchase the site from a private vendor and have submitted a detailed planning application. The package deal is comprised of GDL entering into a contract for the construction of new homes on the land with Stonebond Properties (which is the subject of this notice), and a simultaneous purchase of the land by GDL.
The contracting authority for the purpose of the Procurement Regulations will be GDL. 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 from GDL to
TGPL upon practical completion. The transaction for the purchase of land will be directly between Stonebond Properties and TGPL.

- 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
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 Havant Borough 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: TGPL has formed the view that as the negotiations with the supplier were in progress for a substantial period of time prior to the 'go-live' date of the Procurement Act 2023, it is covered by the transition arrangements under PA23. This contract award is therefore being treated as subject to the Public Contract Regulations 2015, rather than PA23.
