Summary of the contracting process

Northern Ireland Housing Executive procured energy performance certificates for domestic properties prepared for a change of tenancy, where an EPC is required. The requirement covers energy and related services, including the assessment and certification of housing stock. The work is delivered across Northern Ireland. The Housing Executive is the public-sector buyer and the requirement was managed as a service contract. It was organised as a single lot and relates specifically to EPC provision rather than general housing maintenance, construction or wider energy-efficiency works. Businesses operating in domestic energy assessment, EPC production and associated property inspection services would find the requirement most relevant, particularly those able to support housing turnover activity across Northern Ireland and meet the buyer’s tender documentation requirements.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold open competition. Bids were due by 13 August 2026 at 3pm, with enquiries closing on 6 August 2026 at 3pm. The single lot had an estimated value of £84,000 excluding VAT (£100,800 including VAT). MEA (NI) Ltd was awarded the contract, which was signed on 26 August 2026 for £50,160.24 excluding VAT (£60,192.29 including VAT). The initial contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, with an option to extend up to and including 31 August 2030. Evaluation weighted quality at 30% and cost at 70%. Electronic submission was allowed.

This award shows that the Northern Ireland Housing Executive buys domestic EPC services to support changes of tenancy across its housing portfolio, using an open competition below the relevant threshold. A credible future competitor would need the technical capability to inspect domestic properties and prepare compliant energy performance certificates, with sufficient operational capacity to cover work across Northern Ireland. The buyer’s evaluation placed greater weight on cost than quality, so suppliers would need a competitive and transparent pricing model while demonstrating reliable service delivery. Relevant experience in domestic property assessment, managing geographically distributed instructions and turning certificates around within housing-management timescales would strengthen a future response. Smaller businesses may also be well placed, as the selected supplier is an SME.
