The contracts, awarded in August 2023, and updated in April 2025, encompass construction work related to subsidised residential accommodation, including emergency and responsive repairs, pest control, and the installation of bathrooms and kitchens. The procurement falls under the "works" category, with respective contract durations extending up to 1110 days and potential further extensions allowed by regulation. Both areas have active contracts with suppliers MAMO Building Services Limited and Combined Facilities Management Ltd. The procurement was carried out using a limited procedure in alignment with the Procurement Policy Note 01/21, ensuring the delivery of social value outcomes, and covers regions within the UK. Initial stages of the tender required navigating challenges such as insufficient tender submissions, leading to direct contract awards under Regulation 32. This procurement opportunity offers substantial business growth potential, particularly for SMEs engaged in the construction and maintenance sectors. Companies with expertise in residential accommodation and capable of providing round-the-clock maintenance and support services would be well-positioned to compete. The contracts demand an array of services, from basic repairs to complex pest control and fire safety systems, ideal for businesses with diversified offerings. As the roles involve critical elements of public housing maintenance, engagement from experienced operators enhances strategic positioning within the public sector. The market is conducive for parties that can support the social value objectives mandated by the Contracting Authority, potentially fostering longer-term relationships and recurring business within public housing frameworks. ## Notice In accordance with the Procurement Policy Note 01/21 - Scoring Social Value, this Contract will deliver measurable social value outcomes.

No suitable tenders, no requests to participate or no suitable requests to participate were submitted in response to the call for competition in relation to the South and South West area. The Contracting Authority fully complied with all of its obligations under the Regulations including putting the contract opportunity out to the open market. That process did not render a result for 2 of the 4 lots advertised - the South and South West areas. Notwithstanding this, the works/services required under these lots are of fundamental importance to the NIHE for it to comply with its obligations as a statutory landlord. It is not an option for the Contracting Authority to not enter into contract with an Economic Operator to provide these works. After careful consideration, the Contracting Authority opted complete a process using Regulation 32, as it was entitled to, for the purposes of progressing with an award of the contracts. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/018051-2025 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Apr 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 14 Aug 2023 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £73,715,949 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORTHERN IRELAND HOUSING EXECUTIVE | | Locality | BELFAST | | Post town | Northern Ireland | | Postcode | BT2 8BP | | Country | Northern Ireland | | ITL 1 | TLN Northern Ireland | | ITL 2 | TLN0 Northern Ireland | | ITL 3 | TLN06 Belfast | | Local authority | Belfast | | Electoral ward | Central | | Westminster constituency | Belfast South and Mid Down | | Delivery location | TLN Northern Ireland | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 2 | | Supplier names | COMBINED FACILITIES MANAGEMENT; MAMO BUILDING SERVICES | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work - 45110000 - Building demolition and wrecking work and earthmoving work - 45210000 - Building construction work - 45211000 - Construction work for multi-dwelling buildings and individual houses - 45211100 - Construction work for houses - 45211300 - Houses construction work - 45211310 - Bathrooms construction work - 45211340 - Multi-dwelling buildings construction work - 45215210 - Construction work for subsidised residential accommodation - 45261900 - Roof repair and maintenance work - 45262660 - Asbestos-removal work - 45312100 - Fire-alarm system installation work - 45340000 - Fencing, railing and safety equipment installation work - 45421151 - Installation of fitted kitchens ## Release History - 30 Apr 2025 at 13:36 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/018051-2025 - 30 Apr 2025 at 13:36 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/018050-2025 - 20 Sep 2023 at 12:33 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/027782-2023 ## Notice URLs - https://etendersni.gov.uk/epps ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
