Summary of the contracting process

The Ark Housing Association is initiating an open procurement process titled "Competitive Land, Design And Build West Belfast," aimed at developing new social housing projects in West Belfast. The tender falls under the 'works' category within the construction industry and requires provision of land, design, and construction of homes. Compliance with statutory requirements and local design standards is mandatory. Bidders can propose between 10 to 50 new properties. The procurement process, heavily guided by Northern Irish devolved regulations, opened on 10 October 2025. Key deadlines include the end of the enquiry period on 31 October 2025 and the submission deadline set for 14 November 2025. The award period is anticipated to conclude by 24 November 2025, with construction scheduled between March 2026 and March 2028.

With an emphasis on both quality and price in the award criteria, businesses that can offer cost-effective yet high-quality solutions will stand out. The open procedure invites broad participation, ensuring a competitive atmosphere that could catalyse the successful growth of construction firms ready to expand their footprint in the West Belfast area.
