UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Arbour Housing is procuring works to design, supply, install and integrate solar photovoltaic systems for 150 domestic social housing properties. The requirement covers solar panels, associated solar installation and roof-covering work, including the design and integration needed to deliver complete systems. Work will be carried out across Northern Ireland at properties in Portadown, Lurgan, Banbridge, Newry, Lisburn, Hilden and Belfast. This is a housing decarbonisation and renewable-energy installation opportunity, suited to contractors able to manage both the technical design and physical delivery of solar photovoltaic systems across multiple residential locations. The procurement is for works rather than a supply-only package or consultancy service, so businesses should be prepared to coordinate equipment, installation and system integration as one delivery.

The process reached tender: Arbour Housing invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It comprises one lot, with a contract period from 1 October 2026 to 1 February 2027. The estimated contract value is £750,000 including taxes. Potential suppliers could submit enquiries until 12:00 on 28 August 2026, and tenders were due by 12:00 on 2 September 2026. Electronic submission was allowed. The contract is to be awarded on a LAP basis, as stated by the buyer. The requirement was below the applicable threshold and the procurement used an open procedure, allowing suppliers meeting the tender requirements to submit offers for the complete package covering all 150 properties.

This opportunity suits solar photovoltaic contractors with in-house or managed capability across the full delivery chain: system design, equipment supply, installation and integration. Relevant experience will include fitting solar systems to domestic properties, carrying out roof-related installation work and coordinating delivery across a dispersed housing portfolio. Suppliers should be able to plan and complete work at 150 social housing homes in several Northern Ireland towns and cities within a single contract, rather than delivering a small individual installation. The requirement may also suit established renewable-energy installers, roofing contractors with solar expertise, and firms able to combine electrical, construction and project-management skills. Businesses considering a bid should be able to demonstrate practical delivery capacity for a multi-property residential programme.
