Summary of the contracting process

Choice Housing Ireland Limited is seeking developers to provide land, design and construction for social housing developments in the Omagh area under the Social Housing Development Programme. The requirement covers the supply of suitable land, architectural and related design services, and construction of houses or multi-dwelling buildings. Projects must meet the Department for Communities’ Housing Association Guide, statutory requirements and Choice Housing’s design requirements, employer’s requirements and performance specifications. This includes securing or complying with planning permission and Building Control approval. Each supplier may be offered a development of up to 40 dwellings, although the overall output could be higher if multiple developers are appointed. The work is categorised as housing construction and architectural, engineering and planning services.

The procurement has reached tender: Choice Housing invited suppliers to submit offers through an open procedure. Enquiries had to be submitted by 9 October 2026 at 12:00, and offers had to be submitted by 16 October 2026 at 12:00 through eTendersNI. The estimated value is £7,100,000 excluding VAT, or £8,520,000 including VAT. The contract period is 4 December 2026 to 2 June 2028, with the award decision due by 23 November 2026. The competition is structured as one requirement and may result in contracts for multiple developers. Evaluation is based on price, worth 60%, quality submission, worth 30%, and social value, worth 10%.

This opportunity suits developer-led businesses able to bring forward land and manage the full delivery chain from design through construction. Suppliers need the architectural, engineering, planning and construction capability to deliver social housing projects and to prepare proposals that comply with the Department for Communities’ Housing Association Guide, Choice Housing’s design requirements, employer’s requirements and performance specifications. The work also calls for the ability to address statutory approvals, including planning permission and Building Control approval. Contractors must have sufficient capacity to undertake developments of up to 40 dwellings per supplier, with the possibility of several developers being appointed. Businesses able to combine land supply, design management, construction delivery and social value commitments are likely to be best placed to compete.
