Summary of the contracting process

Choice Housing Ireland Limited recently completed a procurement process to appoint a contractor for Multi Element Improvement (MEI) works at The Belgravia, Belfast. The procurement was managed under the Northern Irish devolved regulations and followed an open competition method, falling below the financial threshold. The tender, titled PRN25042, was part of the works category and had a total contract value of £1,876,140 GBP. This procurement process included the entire MEI works as advertised in the original tender notice published in November 2025. The contract was awarded to McCusker Contracts Ltd on 25th March 2026, with the contract period running from 8th June 2026 to 7th June 2027.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for construction firms, particularly those specialising in building refurbishment and electrical and plumbing installation works. The project encompasses various construction tasks, including roofing, painting, electrical, plumbing, and general refurbishment work. Businesses that are experienced in handling large-scale improvement projects and can offer competitive pricing while maintaining high-quality standards could significantly benefit from engaging in such tenders. Additionally, firms looking to establish or expand their presence in Belfast's public sector housing improvement projects would find such contracts beneficial to their growth strategy. The procurement criteria, based on a quality-price ratio, also provide SME contractors the opportunity to demonstrate their value proposition effectively.
