The requirement combines the supply of development land with design and construction of homes. Properties must meet the Department’s Homes for Intermediate Rent Design Standards, statutory requirements such as planning permission and building control approval, and Maple and May’s design and specification standards and employer’s requirements. This is a housing development opportunity involving land, architectural design and residential construction. The homes are to be delivered in Craigavon, Northern Ireland. The buyer invited offers through an open competition. Enquiries were due by 12 noon on 20 November 2026 and submissions by 12 noon on 27 November 2026. The stated contract period runs from 15 February 2027 to 25 August 2028. The estimated value is £3.9 million. The competition seeks projects of up to 20 homes from each supplier and allows contracts to be awarded to multiple developers; total delivery may exceed 20 homes depending on the submissions received, while the number funded for each project depends on Department for Communities support. Evaluation allocates 30% to the quality submission, covering design and drawings, and 70% to price. This suits developers able to secure suitable land and deliver affordable-rent housing from design through construction. Competitors need to prepare design and drawing submissions and demonstrate that their proposed homes can meet the Homes for Intermediate Rent Design Standards, statutory planning and building control requirements, and the buyer’s own specification and employer’s requirements. The scale is suited to suppliers capable of bringing forward developments of up to 20 homes per proposal, with the possibility of multiple developers being appointed. Firms with residential development, architectural design and construction capability will be relevant; delivery depends on available programme funding. The price weighting makes cost competitiveness important alongside the quality and compliance of the proposed design. ## Notice Maple and May seek to appoint Developer(s) to provide Competitive Land, Design and Build works opportunities in the Craigavon area to deliver Affordable Rent projects as part of the Department for Communities (DfC) Affordable Rent Programme. This will include the supply of land and design and construction of properties to meet the DfC 'Homes for Intermediate Rent Design Standards' and statutory requirements (e.g. Planning Permission, Building Control approval), as well as adhering to Maple and May's specific design and specification standards and the Employer's Requirements included in the precedent Sale and Development Agreement. The competition will seek developments of up to 20 no. units from each potential supplier with the ability to award contracts to multiple Developers. Therefore, the output of the competition may exceed 20 no. units depending on the quantity and quality of tender submissions received. The number of dwellings provided for each project will be subject to funding support from DfC. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/101998-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Below threshold - open competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Oct 2026 | | Submission deadline | 27 Nov 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 15 Feb 2027 - 25 Aug 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £3,900,000 | | Lots value | £3,900,000 | | 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 | Choice Housing Ireland Limited | | Locality | BELFAST | | Postcode area | Northern Ireland | | Postcode | BT1 4DN | | Country | Northern Ireland | | ITL 1 | TLN Northern Ireland | | ITL 2 | TLN0 Northern Ireland | | ITL 3 | TLN06 Belfast | | Local authority | Belfast | | Electoral ward | Central | | Westminster constituency | Belfast South and Mid Down | | Delivery location | TLN Northern Ireland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 45210000 - Building construction work - 45211000 - Construction work for multi-dwelling buildings and individual houses - 45211300 - Houses construction work - 71000000 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 71200000 - Architectural and related services - 71220000 - Architectural design services - 71240000 - Architectural, engineering and planning services - 71250000 - Architectural, engineering and surveying services ## Release History - 28 Oct 2026 at 11:55 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/101998-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/101998-2026 28th October 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://etendersni.gov.uk/ - https://etendersni.gov.uk/PleaseregisteryourorganisationtoeTendersNIifrequired.YouwillneedtoregisteryourinterestintheTendertoaccessrelevantTenderdocuments. - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
