Summary of the contracting process

Arbour Housing Ltd is procuring a design-and-build contractor for a residential housing development in Banbridge, County Down. The works cover completion of 19 houses along and off Meeting House Road and construction of 24 apartments along Scarva Road. The scope includes the complete design and build, all associated external works and siteworks, utilities, drainage, and interfaces with the wider development. The project is construction work, including building construction. The completed homes must meet the Department for Communities’ Design Guide and Arbour’s Design Guide, and must achieve Secured by Design and Lifetime Homes accreditation. The requirement is categorised as works and is delivered across the Meeting House Road and Scarva Road sites in Banbridge.

The procurement has reached tender: Arbour Housing Ltd invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The enquiry deadline was 2 October 2026 at 12:00, and the tender submission deadline was 7 October 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission was allowed through the stated online tendering service. The single lot has an estimated value of £4,000,000 including gross value, in GBP. The contract is scheduled to start on 2 November 2026 and run until 30 April 2028. Delivery is phased: nine months for Phase 1, covering the 19 houses, and 18 months for Phase 2, covering the 24 apartments.

This opportunity suits a principal contractor able to provide an integrated design-and-build service for a multi-phase residential development. Relevant capability includes constructing houses and apartments while coordinating external works, site preparation, utilities, drainage and interfaces with a wider development. The successful supplier will need to manage design completion and submission to Building Control as part of the apartment phase, alongside construction delivery across two Banbridge sites. Experience of delivering residential schemes to the Department for Communities’ Design Guide and Arbour’s Design Guide will be directly relevant. Suppliers should also be able to deliver homes that achieve Secured by Design and Lifetime Homes accreditation, requiring suitable design coordination, construction quality and compliance management across the project.
