Summary of the contracting process

The Northern Ireland Housing Executive sought tenders for the provision of adjustment factors for the valuation of its housing stock, located in Belfast, UK. The procurement process was executed under an open competition method, below the threshold for central government public authority regulations applicable in Northern Ireland. The procurement pertains to research and development services within the consultancy domain, crucial for properly assessing the housing stock's valuation. After completing the tender phase, the contract was awarded to Ulster University, effective from 24th February 2026, with a potential extension after its initial end on 28th April 2028. Key figures include a contract value of £93,900 amidst an envisaged contract renewal of up to 12 months post-initial closure. The process concluded with the award on 23rd February 2026, accentuating the swift transition through key milestones.

This tender presents a potent business growth opportunity for entities engaged in research and development consultancy services, with a particular focus on household value adjustment factors. It is well-suited for larger organisations like Ulster University, which succeeded in securing this contract, given their capacity to handle extensive and intricate service explanations. Businesses with expertise in rigorous research methodologies and valuation consultancy can aim to replicate such success, fostering future collaborations with governmental bodies like the Northern Ireland Housing Executive. This pathway encourages operational scalability within specialised sectors friendly to extended contract durations and potential renewals, facilitating sustained business presence and influence in regional tendering affairs.
