## Summary

Northern Ireland Housing Executive is procuring services to develop, print and distribute its ‘Streets Ahead’ magazine. The requirement covers production of approximately 80,750 copies, including the magazine’s development, physical printing and distribution to its intended readership across Northern Ireland. This is a public-sector communications and print-distribution contract, suited to businesses able to manage the complete publication process rather than printing alone. The specification and Housing Executive contract conditions define the required service. The buying organisation is the Northern Ireland Housing Executive, based in Belfast. The procurement is for services and is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The requirement is expected to recur, with a further procurement anticipated in 2027.

The process has reached tender: the Housing Executive invited offers through a selective competitive flexible procedure. It is structured in three stages: qualification, quality evaluation and cost evaluation. The enquiry deadline was 14 September 2026 at 15:00, and the tender submission deadline was 21 September 2026 at 15:00. The expected award decision date was 21 October 2026. The single lot has a contract period from 2 November 2026 to 31 January 2027. Its estimated value is £125,000 excluding VAT, or £150,000 including VAT. Evaluation allocates 30% to quality and 70% to cost. Tenders must be submitted electronically through the specified e-tendering service, in English.

This opportunity suits an SME or larger supplier with an integrated magazine-production capability. Relevant businesses are likely to combine editorial or publication development, commercial print management, quality control, packaging and reliable distribution. The requirement calls for the coordinated handling of a substantial print run, so bidders should be able to plan production, maintain consistent print quality, manage schedules and organise distribution across Northern Ireland. Suppliers offering only one isolated activity may be less well placed unless they can provide dependable partners and take responsibility for the complete service. The competitive process tests both delivery quality and price, so bidders need to demonstrate a credible, efficient operating model alongside the ability to meet the specification and contractual conditions.

## Notice

The Northern Ireland Housing Executive wishes to establish a Contract for the development, print and distribution of 80,750 copies (approx.) of the 'Streets Ahead' magazine as described in the Specification and in accordance with the Housing Executive's Conditions of Contract included within the Tender Documentation.
