Summary of the contracting process

The Radius Housing Association Limited, operating under Northern Irish devolved regulations, has concluded a public procurement process to appoint a service provider for catering, cleaning, and laundry services across their Housing with Care schemes and Day Care facilities. The contract has been awarded to The Mount Charles Group Limited following a competitive flexible procedure, specifically an open procurement method. The procurement was aimed at ensuring these services are provided consistently, seven days a week, at nine Housing with Care Homes and associated Day Care Centres throughout the UKN region. Significant dates in this process include the signing of the contract on 7th November 2025, with the contract period starting from 1st December 2025 and extending until 30th November 2028, with possible renewals. The total contract value is noted at £15 million GBP.

This procurement initiative presents growth opportunities for service providers within the food, cleaning, and laundry services industry, specifically those equipped to deliver comprehensive, high-standard services on a regional scale. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) like The Mount Charles Group that can provide tailored and reliable service solutions stand to benefit most from such contracts, given the nature and scale of the Radius Housing requirements. This can result in not only robust service delivery contracts but also substantial potential for long-term business stability and growth, particularly for firms experienced in public sector engagements. The flexible procurement process ensures adaptability, allowing businesses to apply innovative solutions and increased market competitiveness.
