Summary of the contracting process

Arbour Housing Ltd is procuring the design, supply, installation and integration of solar photovoltaic systems for 150 domestic social-housing properties in Northern Ireland. The works cover solar panels, photovoltaic modules and associated roof-covering work, including the design and integration needed to deliver complete systems. Delivery locations are Portadown, Lurgan, Banbridge, Newry, Lisburn, Hilden and Belfast. This is a works opportunity for solar photovoltaic contractors, renewable-energy system designers and installers, and firms able to coordinate equipment supply with installation and system integration across multiple residential properties. The requirement concerns domestic housing rather than a single commercial or industrial site, so suppliers should be able to plan and deliver repeated installations across the listed towns and city.

The procurement has reached tender: Arbour Housing Ltd has invited offers through a below-threshold open competition, described as a re-tender. Electronic submission is allowed. Enquiries had to be submitted by 2 October 2026 at 12:00, and tenders were due by 8 October 2026 at 12:00. The single lot has a contract period from 2 November 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its estimated value is £750,000 including tax. The contract is to be awarded on a LAP basis, as stated by the buyer. This is a single-lot competition covering the full requirement for the 150 properties, rather than separate lots for different locations or stages of the work.

This opportunity suits suppliers with end-to-end solar photovoltaic capability: designing systems for domestic properties, supplying suitable panels and photovoltaic modules, carrying out roof-covering and installation works, and integrating the completed systems. It is particularly relevant to contractors experienced in delivering renewable-energy works across social housing or other residential portfolios, where consistent surveys, designs, installation standards and handover arrangements are needed across many properties. Firms with the operational capacity to coordinate teams, materials and site activity in Portadown, Lurgan, Banbridge, Newry, Lisburn, Hilden and Belfast are well placed to compete. Specialist solar installers may also be suitable where they can provide the full design, supply, installation and integration service required.
