## Summary

Radius Housing Association Limited, located in Holywood, United Kingdom, has initiated a selective procurement process for a competitive land, design, and build competition in the East Belfast area, titled "RAD183 – Competitive Land, Design & Build Competition for East Belfast Area 2026". The procurement falls under the "Building construction work" category in the works sector, aiming to provide social housing units. The key stages in this process include submission by 12th January 2026, with the expected contract period commencing on 31st March 2026 and concluding on 30th March 2028. The procurement method employed is the Competitive Flexible Procedure, subject to Northern Irish devolved regulations, as outlined in the UK Procurement Act 2023.

This tender presents lucrative opportunities for businesses specialising in building construction work, particularly those experienced in developing multi-dwelling buildings and individual houses. It caters to firms capable of designing, constructing, and managing the completion of social housing as well as mixed tenure developments. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with competencies in providing diverse housing solutions, including 10% wheelchair-accessible units, are well-suited to engage in this procurement exercise. Given the significant budget of up to £24 million and the potential for Radius to award up to five contracts, there is a substantial business growth opportunity for companies that can align with the tender's quality, cost, and social value criteria.

## Notice

Each Development (an individual Development Contract) is for the provision of social housing units in the East Belfast area by means of design and build, where the Developer provides the land, designs, constructs and completes the scheme for Radius in accordance with the DfC Housing Association Guide, Employers Requirements and statutory body requirements. Radius will consider mixed tenure developments that is where some of the homes are designed and built to be social housing and some may be private or affordable standard homes. It is a programme requirement to commence the construction of the units no later than March 2026 with an envisaged construction period of no more than 24 months. The units can be delivered over a number of sites or on one site. In the interests of providing an efficient housing management service, any one site must provide a minimum of 10 units. The developers proposals must ensure each site includes a range of house types. It is a normal assumption from NIHE that 10% of any development should consist of standard wheelchair accommodation.
