Summary of the contracting process

Triangle Housing Association is procuring suitable land together with the design and construction of 16 to 24 social rented homes in Ballyclare, Northern Ireland. The requirement is a land, design and build housing project, covering the full delivery of the homes rather than construction alone. The completed housing must meet the standards set out in the Department for Communities Northern Ireland housing association guide. The work is classified as construction and is to be delivered in Ballyclare. This opportunity is relevant to businesses that can identify or provide suitable development land and undertake, coordinate or deliver the design and construction of social housing to the required departmental standards. It may also suit a consortium combining land, design and construction capability.

The process has reached tender: Triangle Housing Association invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 4 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers were due by 18 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is from 31 March 2027 to 31 May 2029. The estimated gross value is £4,615,000, including the single lot. Electronic submission is allowed, and tenderers must complete a price submission with prices stated exclusive of VAT. The procurement uses a closed framework arrangement with up to three participants, with contracts awarded with and without reopening competition. The award criteria are set out in the tender documents.

This opportunity suits suppliers able to bring together land, housing design and construction delivery for a social rented housing scheme in Ballyclare. Businesses with control of suitable land, or partnerships combining landowners with designers and contractors, are well placed to respond. The successful approach must deliver between 16 and 24 housing units and comply with the Department for Communities Northern Ireland housing association guide, so relevant experience in meeting its standards will be important. Contractors should be capable of managing the design-and-build scope and completing the required price submission. The framework structure may suit established providers or collaborative teams able to support delivery over the stated project period and participate in further competition where required.
