## Summary

Choice Housing Ireland Limited is seeking developers to deliver social housing projects in the Lurgan area under the Social Housing Development Programme. The requirement covers competitive land, design and build opportunities, including supplying suitable land and providing architectural, engineering, planning and construction services. Developers must deliver properties that meet the Department for Communities’ Housing Association Guide, statutory requirements such as planning permission and Building Control approval, Choice Housing’s Design Requirements guide, Employer’s Requirements and performance specifications. The work is classified as building construction, houses and multi-dwelling construction, with associated architectural, engineering, surveying, planning and inspection services. The programme is intended to support social housing delivery, with the final number and mix of dwellings dependent on funding and Northern Ireland Housing Executive support.

The procurement has reached tender: Choice Housing invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries were accepted until 9 October 2026 at 23:59, and tenders were due by 16 October 2026 at 23:59. The award decision was scheduled for 23 November 2026 at 23:59. The contract period is 4 December 2026 to 1 June 2028. The estimated total value, including VAT, is £7,800,000. The competition comprises one requirement, with the potential to appoint multiple developers; each supplier’s development opportunity is expected to be up to 35 units, although the overall output may exceed that. Offers are evaluated on price at 60%, quality at 30% and social value at 10%. Electronic submission is allowed in English.

This opportunity suits developers able to bring forward housing schemes from land acquisition through design, approvals and construction. Strong candidates will need access to suitable land in or around Lurgan, or the ability to source and secure it, alongside in-house or managed architectural, engineering, planning, surveying and construction capability. They should be able to obtain planning permission and Building Control approval and demonstrate delivery against the Department for Communities’ Housing Association Guide, Choice Housing’s design requirements, Employer’s Requirements and performance specifications. The scale is suitable for suppliers capable of delivering residential developments of up to 35 homes per opportunity, with capacity to work alongside other appointed developers. Experience delivering compliant social or affordable housing, managing statutory approvals and demonstrating social value will support a competitive offer.
