Summary of the contracting process

Woven Housing Association Ltd is seeking developers to provide land and deliver social housing as part of its development programme. The requirement combines site development, building construction and architectural services. Sites must be in Lisburn, Northern Ireland, and accommodate between 50 and 70 homes. A single site is preferred, but adjacent sites may be considered. The housing association says the size limit supports efficient housing management. This is a land-and-build opportunity rather than a purchase of standalone construction services: interested developers need to bring a suitable site and provide the development needed to create social housing.

The buyer invited offers through a competitive, selective procedure, with an initial participation stage followed by invitations to tender; it may negotiate and may seek final tenders. The stated enquiry deadline was 22 October 2026 at 12:00, and the deadline to express interest was 29 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 31 March 2027 to 30 March 2030. The estimated value is £15 million excluding VAT (£17.5 million including VAT). Quality accounts for 60% of the evaluation and price for 40%. The award decision was due by 26 February 2027. There is one lot covering the Lisburn development requirement.

This opportunity is best suited to developers able to secure and contribute suitable land in Lisburn, then deliver a social housing scheme of the required size. A supplier should be able to coordinate site development, building construction and architectural design, and manage delivery across the contract period. The preference for a single site favours developers with a cohesive, appropriately sized plot, while the buyer will also consider adjacent sites. The quality-led evaluation gives substantial weight to the quality of the proposed solution, alongside price, so bidders should be prepared to demonstrate the strength and practicality of their development proposal. The requirement is for a sizeable scheme, making land control and the capacity to deliver 50–70 homes central to a competitive offer.
