In plain English
A housing association is seeking a construction contractor to build 57 social housing units on a greenfield site in Derry, including houses, apartments, and wheelchair-accessible homes, plus landscaping, a play park, and site preparation work. The project will take approximately 24 months starting March 2027.
What the buyer wants
• Design and construct 57 social housing units (45 split-level homes, 4 wheelchair-accessible homes, 8 apartments) to Secured by Design and Lifetime Homes standards • Carry out site clearance, remodelling, utility alterations, and construct a bus turning circle • Deliver extensive landscaping, children's play park, amenity space, and ancillary works • Achieve EPC Rating A for all units and deliver the project to BIM Level 2 standard
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This is a £11 million contract requiring 24 months delivery on a complex greenfield site: most small building firms lack the bonding capacity, insurance, project management infrastructure, and specialist expertise (site remodelling, utility coordination, BIM Level 2 delivery, Secured by Design accreditation) needed to qualify. You would typically need to be a large regional or national contractor with proven social housing delivery track record.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
