## Summary

Arbour Housing Ltd is procuring a design-and-build contractor for a residential housing development in Banbridge, County Down. The works cover completion of 19 houses along and off Meeting House Road and construction of 24 apartments along Scarva Road.

The project is construction work, including building construction. The completed homes must meet the Department for Communities’ Design Guide and Arbour’s Design Guide, and must achieve Secured by Design and Lifetime Homes accreditation. The requirement is categorised as works and is delivered across the Meeting House Road and Scarva Road sites in Banbridge.

The enquiry deadline was 2 October 2026 at 12:00, and the tender submission deadline was 7 October 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission was allowed through the stated online tendering service. The single lot has an estimated value of £4,000,000 including gross value, in GBP. The contract is scheduled to start on 2 November 2026 and run until 30 April 2028.
