## Summary

Choice Housing Ireland Limited procured specialist secondary glazing supply and fitting for the Bishop Street scheme in Derry, covering the final unoccupied apartment building, Nazareth House. The work is needed for a listed building and to secure building control approval. It combines the supply of specialist glazing with installation, window fitting, glazing and restoration work. The specified secondary glazing is required by the Historical Environment Division because of the building’s listed status. The requirement is tied to this single housing refurbishment scheme and its heritage constraints, so it is relevant to glazing contractors with experience of sensitive works in occupied or historic residential settings. Delivery is in Derry, Northern Ireland.

This procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was awarded to Cowan All Purpose Glass Ltd. The award value is £173,737 excluding VAT and £208,484 including VAT. The award is recorded as pending, with signature scheduled for 20 August 2026. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 30 April 2027. The award covers works and associated goods, including installation of window frames and windows, glazing and restoration. The stated justification for the direct award is that the specified type is manufactured by only Selectaglaze in the UK and that Cowan All Purpose Glass Ltd is the only locally approved installer under licence. Evaluation was therefore not competitive.

This outcome indicates demand for specialist secondary glazing that meets heritage requirements, rather than standard window replacement. A credible competitor for a future requirement from Choice Housing Ireland Limited would need to source or install the particular system specified by the Historical Environment Division, understand the constraints of listed buildings and deliver work acceptable for building control approval. Local approval under the relevant manufacturer’s licence appears commercially important for this type of installation. Relevant capability includes specialist glazing, window fitting, restoration and coordination of supply with installation. Firms able to demonstrate delivery on sensitive housing or historic-building schemes, while managing technical compliance and refurbishment interfaces, would be better placed to compete when this buyer next requires comparable work.
