## Summary

The Northern Ireland Housing Executive, located at 2 Adelaide Street, Belfast, sought to establish an Ejectments and Debt Recovery Solicitors Panel through an open procurement process, classified under legal services. The procurement, identified by the tender ID P0553, aimed to appoint a retained solicitor to cover services across Northern Ireland. The tender was issued on 29th September 2025 with an initial tender submission deadline of 23rd October 2025. However, the process has since been cancelled, as no tenders met the evaluation criteria by 5th November 2025.

This procurement offered opportunities primarily for legal firms specialising in ejectment and debt recovery services. SMEs capable of providing comprehensive legal services across Northern Ireland would have found this tender highly suitable for enhancing their business growth. The contract valued at approximately £400,324, with potential extensions up to two additional years, presented a substantial opportunity for long-term engagement. The award criteria emphasized quality, social value, and cost, providing diverse avenues for competitive bids. Despite the cancellation, understanding such opportunities could guide future business strategies for legal service providers.

## Notice

The Northern Ireland Housing Executive ("the Housing Executive") requires the services of a Retained Solicitor ("the Contractor") for a single member Ejectments and Debt Recovery Solicitors Panel ("the Panel") to cover the whole of Northern Ireland. Please note that although a Contract Notice is being used to advertise this tendering opportunity, the Services required are exempt from the Procurement Act 2023 (The Act) as per section Schedule 2 paragraph 14 of The Act. Therefore the Services being procured are not deemed 'Light Touch'. Due to the nature of the requirement, it is neither practical nor desirable to divide the proposed contract into lots. To do so would likely add unnecessary cost and risk.
