UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Ark Housing Association is seeking an economic operator or operators for competitive land, design and build projects in East Belfast. The requirement is for new-build social housing, including the supply of suitable land, architectural and technical design, and construction of homes. The completed properties must meet statutory requirements, the Department for Communities Housing Association Guide, regulatory requirements, and Ark Housing Association’s own design standards and performance specifications. The competition covers a minimum of five and a maximum of 30 properties. This is a construction works opportunity, with the work delivered in East Belfast. It is suited to businesses able to bring together land supply, housing design and development, and construction delivery within one proposition.

The process has reached tender: Ark Housing Association invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The enquiry deadline was 14 August 2026 at 23:59, and the tender submission deadline was 21 August 2026 at 23:59. Offers were submitted electronically through eTendersNI. The procurement has one lot. The contract period is from 31 March 2027 to 30 March 2029. The published gross procurement value is £0, with the lot also recorded at a gross value of £0. Evaluation is weighted 70% financial and 30% quality. The opportunity is under the concession special regime and is governed by Northern Irish devolved procurement regulations. No cancellation or withdrawal is recorded.

This opportunity suits housing developers, construction contractors and multidisciplinary development teams with the capacity to source land, design and build new social housing. Strong candidates will be able to demonstrate control of suitable land in East Belfast or a credible land-supply route, together with design, planning, technical and construction capability. Delivery must satisfy statutory and regulatory requirements, the Department for Communities Housing Association Guide, and Ark Housing Association’s design standards and performance specifications. The scale requires the ability to deliver between five and 30 new homes, so it is relevant to organisations with sufficient development, project-management, construction and supply-chain capacity. Businesses may be well placed where they can offer an integrated land-and-build solution and present a strong quality proposal alongside competitive financial terms.
