Summary of the contracting process

The Northern Ireland Housing Executive is procuring residential property valuation services from established residential estate agents and general practice surveying firms. The work covers valuations where tenants apply to buy their homes under the House Sales Scheme, where applicants for housing benefit or Universal Credit need the value of land or property they possess assessed, and where leaseholders seek to extend the term of a flat lease under the Leasehold Extension Policy. The services are classified as real estate services, including estate agency services (CPV 70300000). Delivery is across Northern Ireland, divided into geographical areas: Belfast, Castlereagh and Lisburn; Bangor, Newtownards, Downpatrick, Newry, Banbridge, Armagh, Lurgan and Portadown; Ballymena and surrounding towns; and Derry/Londonderry and surrounding areas.

The process reached tender: the Housing Executive invited offers through a selective competitive flexible procedure, with electronic submission via its procurement portal. Enquiries closed on 14 September 2026 at 15:00, and tenders were due by 21 September 2026 at 15:00. The award decision was scheduled for 12 October 2026. Contracts are planned from 16 December 2026 to 17 December 2028, with discretionary extensions of up to 36 months, potentially lasting until 17 December 2031. There are four separately evaluated lots, and suppliers may bid for any or all. Estimated gross values are £97,290 for Belfast, £267,550.80 for Bangor, £52,528.80 for Ballymena and £82,596 for Derry. Cost carries 60% and quality 40%, supported by two quality questions per lot and technical participation conditions.

This opportunity suits established residential estate agencies and general practice surveying firms able to provide reliable property valuations across one or more Northern Ireland geographical areas. Suppliers should be capable of valuing residential dwellings, land and property for housing purchase applications, benefit assessments and leasehold extension cases. The requirement calls for a consistent, high-quality valuation service, so bidders will need suitable surveying or residential valuation expertise, processes for assessing different property circumstances and the operational capacity to cover the locations included in their chosen lots. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable to compete. The competitive structure allows a business to focus on a single geographical area or build a bid covering several areas, with quality as well as price assessed independently for each lot.
