Summary of the contracting process

Choice Housing Ireland Limited is seeking an integrated design team for a new social housing development at Clarawood House, Clara Way, Belfast. The team is to include a lead project architect, mechanical and electrical engineers, civil and structural engineers, a principal designer and an NEC4 supervisor. Services cover site appraisal, support with the Housing Association Grant application, design from initial strategy through developed design, cost planning, preparation of construction contract and tender documents, statutory applications, health and safety and design risk management, and construction-stage inspections. The team will also support the Association and its NEC4 Project Manager during construction and after completion. The site is earmarked for transfer to Choice Housing by the Northern Ireland Housing Executive. This is architectural, engineering and construction consultancy work (CPV 71000000).

Choice Housing invited offers through an open procedure. The procurement is at the tender stage. The deadline for enquiries was 30 October 2026 at 12:00, and the bid submission deadline was 6 November 2026 at 12:00. The stated award decision date was 30 November 2026. The contract period runs from 4 January 2027 to 31 January 2030. The estimated value is £250,000 excluding VAT (£300,000 including VAT). There is one lot. Evaluation is weighted 70% on quality and 30% on price; the quality submission assesses the design concept, alongside a commercial submission. Bids may be submitted electronically in English through eTendersNI.

This requirement suits a multidisciplinary built-environment consultancy able to bring architecture, building-services engineering, civil and structural engineering, principal designer and NEC4 supervision capability together as an integrated team. Suppliers need to cover work from site appraisal and early-stage design through construction and post-completion support, including cost planning, statutory approvals, health and safety compliance, design risk management, tender documentation, construction supervision and quality inspections. Experience developing social housing in Northern Ireland would be relevant, as the design must follow the Department for Communities’ Housing Association Guide, Choice Housing Design Guide and applicable legislation. The breadth of services and long delivery period favour a team with the capacity to support the Association and its project manager across design, construction and handover, and to provide a credible design concept as part of its quality submission.
