The tender notice has been published for York’s Burnholme and Duncombe Barracks housing development programme.
The contract is split into two lots: Lot 1 is for Duncombe Barracks and Lot 2 is for Burnholme.
The Duncombe Barracks site, purchased by the city council from the Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Association in August 2019, is 0.66 hectares and will have a total of 34 dwellings.

Estimated contract value for both sites is £43m to £47.5m
The aim is to start construction on site in December 2021 and complete in summer 2023
