## Summary

Choice Housing Ireland Limited, a public authority under sub-central government, is currently in the planning phase for a procurement process titled "PRN26009 Pre Market Engagement - Landlord Natural Gas Supply." The procurement is focused on securing the supply of natural gas as part of public utility services in Northern Ireland, specifically within the UKN region. The authority aims to ensure a thorough market engagement, inviting suppliers to register on eTendersNI to access relevant documentation by 12 March 2026. Although the procurement process is in the planning stage, the contract period is expected to commence on 1 October 2026, extending potentially until 2028. The procurement will follow Northern Irish devolved regulations, and stakeholders can access the preliminary market engagement notice published on 25 February 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the natural gas sector and related services, providing a chance to establish valuable contracts with a public body. Suppliers of coal gas, mains gas, similar gases, and public utilities—which include gas distribution and related services—are particularly suited for this engagement. By participating in the pre-market activities, businesses can influence the final procurement strategy, ensuring the contract meets market needs and encourages robust competition, thereby potentially enhancing business growth and visibility within the region.
