## Summary

Woven Housing Association Ltd has completed the procurement stage for a competitive land, design and build contract within the NIHE Area Westbank, Derry/Londonderry, aimed at developing social housing. The procurement process followed a selective, restricted procedure and the contract was ultimately valued at £8.2m. This contract involves the provision of land, design, construction, and completion of the housing scheme, in adherence to the Department for Communities Housing Association Guide and statutory body requirements. The awarded contract has been actively signed on 13th November 2024, with Urban Pulse as the successful bidder, amid stringent quality and cost criteria.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in construction, architectural services, site preparation, and building installation work. Given that it requires the provision of land and all-inclusive design and build services, real estate developers, construction companies, and architectural firms are particularly well-placed to compete. The project, aimed at developing between 10 to 100 housing units, provides a substantial platform for business growth, enabling sustained partnerships with public housing authorities and driving community development through large-scale construction projects.
