Summary of the contracting process

Choice Housing Ireland Limited procured competitive land, design and build works on behalf of Maple and May Limited, which will manage the contract. The requirement is for developers to provide land and deliver affordable-rent housing projects in the Bangor area under the Department for Communities Affordable Rent Programme. Suppliers are responsible for the complete development, including architectural, engineering, planning and construction services, planning permission and Building Control approval. Properties must meet the Department for Communities Homes for Intermediate Rent Design Standards, statutory requirements, Maple and May’s design and specification standards, and the Employer’s Requirements in the Sale and Development Agreement. Each development may comprise up to 20 dwellings, with multiple developers potentially appointed. The main category is housing construction and associated professional services.

The procurement is complete and Windsor Developments Ltd was awarded the contract on 4 September 2026. The award value is £3,060,000 gross, against an estimated procurement value of £3,500,000 gross. It used a below-threshold open competition, with one bid received and one final-stage bid. The enquiry deadline was 15 July 2026 at 12:00 and the tender deadline was 22 July 2026 at 12:00. Evaluation required a pass/fail Procurement Specific Questionnaire, followed by a quality submission weighted at 30% and price weighted at 70%. The award contract period is 5 October 2026 to 29 September 2028. A signature milestone was scheduled for 2 October 2026. The related procurement period was 21 August 2026 to 21 August 2028.

This award demonstrates demand from Choice Housing Ireland and Maple and May for end-to-end housing development capability in the Bangor area. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to control or secure suitable development land, prepare designs, obtain planning permission and Building Control approval, and deliver compliant multi-dwelling or individual housing construction. It would need to work to the Department for Communities Homes for Intermediate Rent Design Standards, statutory requirements, Maple and May’s own specifications and the Employer’s Requirements in the Sale and Development Agreement. The evaluation also shows that both technical quality and price matter, with price carrying greater weight. Developers should therefore be able to combine strong design and construction delivery with competitive commercial proposals and capacity for schemes of up to 20 homes.
