Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Lisnaskea Area Land Design and Build, managed by Choice Housing Ireland Limited, was initially aimed at delivering social housing projects under the Social Housing Development Programme. With a buying address in Belfast, this tender fell under the construction industry category and intended to meet various planning and building control approvals. Although active in October 2025, this tender was ultimately cancelled, as per the announcement on 19 January 2026, due to not receiving any bids. The procurement method was an open competition with specific submission and enquiry deadlines set in November 2025. Despite the completion of its planning stage, the award process resulted in cancellation on 16 January 2026, as it followed Northern Irish devolved regulations.

This procurement tender initially presented a substantial opportunity for growth among businesses specialising in construction, particularly those skilled in the development of social housing infrastructure. Companies with expertise in architectural design, building construction, and engineering services would have found this tender particularly suited to their capabilities. Despite the tender's cancellation, similar future opportunities may arise, allowing such businesses to participate in ongoing regional and governmental initiatives focused on social housing developments. The open competition format and the significant budget of £4.5 million gross could have provided winning developers with substantial work and experience in the Northern Ireland housing sector. Businesses should remain attentive for potential re-issues or similar opportunities in this ever-essential market.
