The Northern Ireland Housing Executive has completed a procurement process for a contract titled "Professional Services (all stages from survey through to completion on site) in relation to MEI at Creevy/Marlfield, Belfast". The procurement process followed an open procedure and has been finalised with the awarding of the contract to WATTS GROUP LIMITED. The contract, valued at £99,936 gross over a period from 12 May 2026 to 11 May 2029, covers architectural, civil, and structural engineering, as well as building and quantity surveying services. The procurement falls under the services category and adhered to Northern Irish devolved regulations, with key documentation published on 12 May 2026.
