Summary of the contracting process

Choice Housing, a body governed by public law, is conducting an open tender for the "PRN25004 Design and Build Competition Greater Belfast Area 2025." The procurement focuses on the construction industry, specifically the design and build of social housing units in the Greater Belfast area. The competition seeks developers to provide competitive land, design, and build services, meeting the required statutory and association guidelines. The tender process is at the 'award' stage as of 16th April 2025, but the status is currently marked as 'unsuccessful.' Initially, the tender invitation was active up until 6th February 2025, with the aim to start the award period immediately after. The total contract value is estimated at £6,000,000, targeting developments up to 30 units per developer, though the total output may exceed this number depending on tender submissions.

This tender presents an opportunity for developers, architects, and contractors specialised in the construction of multi-dwelling buildings and individual houses, as well as those proficient in civil engineering and statutory compliance for social housing. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with the capability to deliver high-quality build projects whilst maintaining cost-effectiveness are particularly well-suited to compete for these projects. The open procedure provides a competitive landscape, encouraging innovation and cost efficiency, potentially leading to the award of contracts to multiple developers, thereby boosting growth and diversification opportunities within the regional construction sector.
