Summary of the contracting process

The Radius Housing Association is commencing a procurement process for a construction project at Newhill, Belfast, aimed at developing 28 social housing units with ancillary works on a site located at 265 Whiterock Road, Ballymurphy, BT12 7FZ. This selective procurement process follows a competitive flexible procedure and consists of several stages, including a Conditions of Participation stage and a subsequent tender stage, with an optional post-tender negotiation phase. The enquiry period is available until 22 August 2025, and the deadline for expressions of interest is 29 August 2025, with the procurement process expected to extend until 1 March 2026. The contract falls under the jurisdiction of Northern Irish devolved regulations and is subject to the Procurement Act 2023, fitting within the construction and building industry category.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses particularly skilled in construction work for multi-dwelling buildings and individual houses, with a special emphasis on social housing. The development's complexity, including the requirement for piling and the treatment of Japanese Knotweed, alongside proximity challenges, suggests that companies with robust experience in overcoming such construction hurdles will be well-suited to compete. Additionally, the contract’s substantial value, estimated at £5,700,000, allows for substantial business growth potential, especially for those adept at delivering cost-efficient and socially valuable construction solutions. The competitive flexible procedure provides numerous stages for interaction and refinement, making this an attractive venture for businesses keen on capitalising through responsive and adaptive tendering strategies.
