## Summary

The Woven Housing Association is initiating a procurement process titled "Developers Framework" aimed at expanding the housing supply in Northern Ireland through strategic partnerships. This planning phase, denoted "planning" in the OCDS JSON, is focused on the construction industry, specifically targeting site preparation, urban development, and building construction works. The process involves market engagement activities scheduled until 22 January 2026, with contract periods expected to start from 1 April 2026. The involved budget amounts to a gross total of £180 million, with a net allocation of £150 million, and the contract is anticipated to last until 31 March 2027, with the potential for extensions until 2029. The Woven Housing Association, located in Belfast, is managing this procurement under Northern Irish devolved regulations, utilising a tender method within a procurement framework.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the construction sector, specifically those proficient in large-scale housing projects and urban developments, to secure long-term contracts in Northern Ireland. The focus on fostering long-term relationships signals a preference for developers that can demonstrate strategic vision, robust delivery capabilities, and management expertise in providing high-quality, affordable housing. Small to medium enterprises that can offer innovative solutions and collaborate effectively are well-positioned to compete in this framework agreement, potentially benefiting from substantial financial investment and engagement with a public undertaking like the Woven Housing Association.
