In plain English
Choice Housing, a housing association, wants to appoint developers to supply land and design and build social homes in the Antrim area, worth around £9,000,000 in total. Each developer can deliver up to 55 units, and the council may award contracts to more than one developer, so the total could exceed 55 homes depending on the bids received.
What the buyer wants
• Supply the land and carry out the design and construction of social housing, as part of the Social Housing Development Programme. • Meet the Department for Communities' Housing Association Guide, Choice Housing's Design Requirements guide, the Employer's Requirements and the performance specifications. • Obtain the statutory approvals, such as planning permission and Building Control approval, with the number of homes in each project subject to funding and accommodation mix support from the Northern Ireland Housing Executive (NIHE).
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice requires the supplier to provide the land as well as design and build up to 55 homes, so a small firm without its own land or the capacity to deliver at that scale would most likely be ruled out, although the notice does not state specific financial or experience thresholds.
Always check the tender documents.
