This opportunity falls under the industry categories of construction work, repair and maintenance services, and real estate services, with a focus on the housing sector in Northern Ireland. The contract aims to provide 24/7 repairs and maintenance, including handling structural issues, heating, plumbing, and compliance works across various districts. The tender process is currently active, with submissions accepted until 10 April 2026, and the contract is set to begin on 14 May 2026. The open procedure allows electronic submissions and welcomes enquiries until 3 April 2026. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in construction, maintenance, and repair services to secure a long-term contract with the potential for renewal up to five years, depending on performance. With a significant value of £7,500,000 GBP, this contract can bolster growth for firms capable of delivering consistent quality and meeting extensive compliance and health and safety requirements. Businesses with expertise in emergency response, IT systems, and customer care, particularly those experienced in social value initiatives and collaborative working in rural settings, will find this opportunity aligned with their capabilities and growth ambitions. ## Notice Rural Housing Association (RHA) was established in 1992 as one means of implementing the Housing Executive's pioneering and innovative Rural Housing policy statement "The Way Ahead". RHA works throughout Northern Ireland and has a particular focus on rural areas with populations of less than 5000. RHA has a housing stock of 617 dwellings (as at February 2026) located across all District Council areas (excluding Belfast); and the average scheme size is just under seven dwellings. RHA is responsible for the repairs and maintenance of housing stock occupied by its tenants and wishes to appoint a supplier who can provide 24/7 repairs, voids, aids and adaptions, compliance and planned maintenance works. The appointed supplier will be required to address out of hours emergencies and standard repairs (urgent/routine) covering structural issues, heating and plumbing (as more particularly described in the specification, a copy of which can be found within the procurement documents). The initial contract term will be 3 years, with options for RHA to extend the contract for a further two years (i.e. 3+1+1). ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: RHA may extend the contract for a further two years following the initial 3 year term (either by requesting a two-year extension, or exercising this option in one year increments), meaning that the maximum potential term of the contract, should those options be exercised, will be 5 years. Any contract extensions will be executed at the discretion of RHA depending on future requirements and the supplier's performance ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/021872-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Mar 2026 | | Submission deadline | 10 Apr 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 13 May 2026 - 11 May 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £6,250,000 | | Lots value | £6,250,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | RURAL HOUSING ASSOCIATION | | Locality | OMAGH | | Post town | Northern Ireland | | Postcode | BT79 0AX | | Country | Northern Ireland | | ITL 1 | TLN Northern Ireland | | ITL 2 | TLN0 Northern Ireland | | ITL 3 | TLN0G Fermanagh and Omagh | | Local authority | Fermanagh and Omagh | | Electoral ward | Camowen | | Westminster constituency | West Tyrone | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work - 50 - Repair and maintenance services - 70 - Real estate services ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work - 50000000 - Repair and maintenance services - 70000000 - Real estate services ## Release History - 11 Mar 2026 at 15:07 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/021872-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/021872-2026 11th March 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - http://www.ruralhousing.co.uk - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
