NIHE is seeking suppliers for a Design and Build framework to deliver social housing units across the Belfast, North and South Regions (all of NI). Economic Operators must provide the land, produce designs and construct schemes for Arbour Housing in accordance with the DfC Housing Association Guide, the Employer's requirements and Statutory Body requirements. Units may be delivered over multiple sites or on a single site, with any one site providing at least five units. The procurement is an open/competitive flexible procedure to establish a closed-type framework agreement, evaluated on qualification, technical and financial envelopes; the works cover building construction and related architectural and engineering services (CPV codes 45000000, 45210000, 71000000, 71200000).

This is suited to construction and development firms able to supply land and deliver design-and-build social housing schemes to Arbour Housing while meeting DfC and statutory requirements. Key considerations include the requirement to meet the DfC Housing Association Guide, Employer's and Statutory Body requirements, the minimum of five units per site, and participation in a closed-type framework evaluated on qualification, technical and financial envelopes.
