Summary of the contracting process

Radius Housing Association, operating under Northern Irish devolved regulations, has initiated an active tender process titled "Planned Maintenance Contractor Framework." The focus is on construction work within the residential accommodation sector, primarily located in Holywood, United Kingdom. The tender is divided into two distinct Lots: Lot 1 for cyclical maintenance and minor works, and Lot 2 for multi-elemental improvements, with both stages open for applications until 27th October 2025. This procurement operation is conducted via a competitive flexible procedure and encompasses several stages, including conditions of participation, tender stage, and possibly post-tender negotiations. The framework agreement has an estimated gross value of £76.8 million, and the contracting period is planned from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2028, with potential extensions up to 2030.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses experienced in building construction work, particularly those that cater to cyclical maintenance and significant refurbishment projects. It is well-suited for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can demonstrate the capability to handle projects ranging from £500,000 to £5,000,000. Companies engaging in construction work for subsidised residential accommodation will find this tender especially relevant, with estimated annual investments for both Lots reaching as much as £8,000,000. Participation in this tender provides the potential for long-term engagement and financial growth through a structured and competitive selection process.

These works will include significant refurbishment works to multiple units and/or communal spaces, or for other works that fall outside of the remit of Lot 1. There is no upper limit for Lot 2 projects, but it is expected that projects will generally range from PS500,000.00 to PS2,500,000.00 (but possible that projects of up to PS5,000,000.00 may occur). However, Radius reserves the right to call-off a contract of any value for this lot. In addition to occupied properties, works under Lot 2 may also include void properties where applicable. The indicative annual estimated spend for Lot 2 will be in the region of PS5,000,000.00 - PS8,000,000.00 p.a.",
