Summary of the contracting process

Believe Housing Limited, a sub-central public authority based in Seaham, UK, is currently active in the tender stage for their Voids Framework 2026 project. This procurement aims to appoint contractors for void work on multi-dwelling buildings and individual houses within the region UKC14. The open competition method invites tenders electronically through Believe Housing's procurement portal, with submissions due by 12:00 PM on 1 September 2026. The contract, with a total value of £3,331,200 GBP, will run from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2028 and may be extended by an additional two years. Potential bidders had an early opportunity for market engagement until 16 February 2026.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for companies in the construction industry, particularly those with expertise in residential building and completion work. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the framework agreement will appoint up to three suppliers where work is allocated on a ranked basis. Companies capable of delivering high-quality void works with competitive costs would gain valuable experience and potentially long-term partnerships with Believe Housing, offering a robust platform for expanding their market presence and portfolio in the construction domain.
