Notices publish through eTendersNI. Eleven councils handle local services, and the Northern Ireland Housing Executive is one of the UK's largest social-housing buyers.

What does CPV code 45000000 cover?
Division 45 is construction work — the largest CPV division by value in UK public procurement. It spans new build, refurbishment, civil engineering, highways, demolition and specialist trades (roofing, M&E installation, scaffolding) across codes 45100000–45500000.
How do I win Construction work contracts in Northern Ireland?
Get positioned on the frameworks and DPS lists your target clients actually use (check their previous awards to see which), because mid-value works rarely reach the open market. Bids are scored on social value (typically 10–20%), site-specific methodology and programme credibility rather than lowest price; for sub-£500k lots, local SMEs genuinely win if they evidence relevant completed jobs with referee contacts, CHAS/Constructionline accreditation and realistic prelims. Register on eTendersNI — it is the single gateway for almost everything, and CPD's pipeline notices give unusually good forward visibility. Social-value scoring (minimum 10% under NI's Procurement Policy Note 01/21) applies to most tenders; for construction and maintenance, NIHE's cyclical programmes are the recurring prize and prequalification through its frameworks is the entry ticket.
