Provision of Agency Workers to the Northern Ireland Housing Executive

Northern Ireland Housing Executive · Housing

In brief

Northern Ireland Housing Executive has announced plans to buy recruitment work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £89,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 2 years, up to 4 years with extensions, starting 1 April 2027.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 6 bids per contract for this buyer (from 63 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £89,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

The Housing Executive requires Contractor(s) for the provision of Agency Workers as defined by Regulation 3 of the Agency Workers Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2011 (AWRs) to provide cover both for ongoing structural change projects as well as business as usual requirements such as cover for internal secondments, sickness absence, maternity leave or additional workload. Initial thoughts are that The Housing Executive will establish a Framework to meet this requirement. The Framework will be divided into three (3) Lots: • Lot One - Admin and Customer Contact Roles; • Lot Two - Building Trade and Manual Roles; • Lot Three - Technical and Professional Specialist Roles.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
