Summary of the contracting process

Choice Housing Ireland Ltd commissioned the external and internal refurbishment of existing office and commercial buildings in Belfast. The works convert Leslie Morrell House, at 37–41 May Street, and the adjoining vacant commercial building at 31–35 May Street into a combined headquarters. The completed accommodation is intended to provide modern, efficient office space for Choice Housing’s staff and departmental needs. This is a commercial building refurbishment and construction requirement, including building construction work (CPV 45210000) and construction work for commercial buildings (CPV 45213100). Delivery is at the May Street site in Belfast. The requirement covers a single redevelopment package rather than separate lots, and involves adapting existing buildings rather than constructing an entirely new headquarters.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold open competition. Three valid final-stage bids were received for the single lot. Choice Housing Ireland Ltd awarded the work to Felix O’Hare & Co. Ltd on 20 August 2026 for £5,900,843.93 gross. The awarded contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 3 September 2027. The original estimated gross value was £6,420,000. The tender deadline was 23 January 2026 at 12:00, with enquiries closing on 16 January 2026 at 12:00. Evaluation involved compliance checks on PSQ Parts 1 and 2, followed by scored and ranked technical responses; the highest-ranked six were to progress to stage two, the Invitation to Tender. Electronic submission was allowed.

This award indicates demand from Choice Housing Ireland Ltd for substantial refurbishment and construction capability in occupied or existing commercial property settings. Suppliers targeting a future requirement of this type would need to demonstrate the ability to refurbish office buildings, adapt adjoining premises into a coherent headquarters, and deliver efficient, modern accommodation for a complex organisation. Credibility would depend on strong technical responses, successful pre-selection compliance checks and the capacity to undertake a sizeable single-site redevelopment package. The competition attracted three valid final-stage bids, all from large construction businesses, including firms based in Northern Ireland. Relevant competitors should therefore be able to manage commercial-building works at comparable scale, coordinate internal and external refurbishment, and present clear evidence of technical competence through a structured, scored tender process.
