UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Rural Housing Association is seeking a main contractor to build four general-needs apartments in Bushmills, Northern Ireland. The homes are described as three-person, two-bedroom apartments. This is a housing construction works contract (CPV 45000000). The scheme is identified in the planning portal under reference LA01/2022/0205/F, and site investigation reports are to be made available at the invitation-to-tender stage. The work is for the association’s social housing provision. The procurement is for construction of the apartments, rather than the supply of housing-related services or goods.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition under a below-threshold procedure. The enquiry deadline was 20 October 2026 and the bid submission deadline was 21 October 2026 at 3pm. The stated contract period is approximately 12 months from award, with work scheduled to start before the end of March 2027; the lot dates are 29 January 2027 to 31 January 2029. The estimated value is £950,000 excluding VAT (£1,140,000 including VAT). There is one lot, covering the whole construction requirement. Evaluation criteria are set out in the pre-qualification questionnaire documentation.

This opportunity is suited to main contractors with the capacity and experience to deliver a small residential construction project comprising four two-bedroom apartments. Suppliers need relevant building capability and the resources to manage construction through to completion. The requirement centres on general-needs social housing, so experience delivering apartment or housing schemes would be commercially relevant. Site investigation reports are intended to inform tender-stage planning and pricing. The procurement identifies the pre-qualification questionnaire documentation as the source of evaluation information, so bidders should ensure they can address its requirements when assessing their fit.
