UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Ark Housing Association is seeking a contractor or development partner for land, design and build projects providing new-build social housing in the Lisburn and Castlereagh council area. The requirement covers the supply of suitable land, design of the homes and their construction. The completed properties must meet statutory requirements, the Department for Communities Housing Association Guide, relevant regulatory requirements, and Ark Housing Association’s design standards and performance specifications. The construction work is classified under CPV 45000000. The procurement is for works rather than the supply of goods or standalone professional services, and is structured as a single requirement covering between five and 30 properties. It is therefore relevant to businesses able to combine land supply, housing design and construction delivery in Northern Ireland.

The procurement has reached tender: Ark Housing Association invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries could be submitted until 14 August 2026 at 23:59, and offers were due by 21 August 2026 at 23:59. Electronic submission was allowed through eTendersNI. The contract period is 31 March 2027 to 30 March 2029. The published gross procurement value is £0, with the same stated gross value for the single lot. Evaluation is based on 70% financial criteria and 30% quality. This is a single-lot competition, with a concession special regime. The opportunity concerns a minimum of five and maximum of 30 properties, so bidders should assess their ability to deliver the required scale within the stated contract period.

This opportunity suits housebuilders, developers and construction businesses that can offer or secure development land and take responsibility for the full delivery chain. Strong candidates will be able to design new homes, obtain and manage the necessary approvals, and construct properties that satisfy statutory obligations and Northern Ireland housing requirements. They will also need to work to the Department for Communities Housing Association Guide, applicable regulatory requirements, Ark Housing Association’s own design standards and its performance specifications. The requirement favours organisations with experience of social or affordable housing development, coordinated land-and-build delivery, and the capacity to deliver between five and 30 homes. Because quality represents 30% of the evaluation, bidders should be able to demonstrate a credible technical and design approach alongside competitive financial proposals.
