Details

The Cork City Council Housing Programme 2026-2028 will form part of the City Council’s housing delivery action plan under the Government’s Delivering Homes, Building Communities 2025-2030 (DHBC)1, although this procurement process may include schemes that will be delivered beyond the lifetime of the DHBC. The Government’s DHBC sets out an overall ambition to activate the supply of 300,000 homes over the lifetime of the plan, including an annual average delivery of 12,000 new social homes and 15,000 starter home supports. There are significant targets to be delivered in Cork City and in this regard the Cork City Council Housing Programme 2026-2028 is a major part of the Council’s delivery plan under the DHBC and any subsequent national housing delivery programme. Cork City Council proposes to deliver and facilitate the delivery of social, starter homes and mixed tenure schemes in delivery of its housing programme over the coming years and therefore invites proposals from Candidates which can deliver social, starter homes, or mixed tenure schemes, to include new build construction, conversion of existing residential or non- residential properties, or schemes which form part of a larger development. Starter homes or mixed tenure schemes may include provision for cost-rental delivery in partnership with an Approved Housing Body (AHB).

Documents

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this real estate & facilities opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
