Procurement Intelligence

Co-operative Housing Ireland (CHI) is a national approved housing body and co‑operative federation that develops, owns, and manages social and affordable housing schemes across Ireland, working with local authorities and government to deliver homes at scale.[5][6] It has facilitated dozens of new rental developments nationwide and continues to expand its stock through new-build schemes, acquisitions, and regeneration projects.[6][5] Core activities include housing development and construction, long‑term property and asset management, and tenancy and community services supported by internal corporate, finance, and IT functions.[5][6] Its primary procurement categories are construction and housing development works, planned and responsive property maintenance, building services (e.g. heating and fire safety), IT systems for housing/asset/finance management, and a range of professional services such as design teams, consultancy, and legal support.[1][2][8]

Strategic Context

CHI is in a growth phase, highlighting delivery of new homes and ongoing development activity in its public communications, underpinned by national housing policy and funding for approved housing bodies.[5][6][9] It is strengthening internal capabilities, including diversity and organisational development initiatives, which typically go hand‑in‑hand with investment in systems, governance, and professional services.[5] A prior pre‑market consultation on software solutions for housing services management, asset management, and finance indicates a medium‑term digital and systems modernisation agenda that will continue to shape IT and data‑related procurement.[8]

Typical Suppliers

Regional and national building contractors and developers delivering new social and affordable housing schemes and refurbishment works under CHI-led projects.[1][7]
Specialist property maintenance and building services firms providing long‑term term‑maintenance and servicing contracts (e.g. heating maintenance provider Bayview Contracts Ltd). [2][4]
Fire safety, compliance, and residential property service providers such as Pro‑Fire and similar firms delivering inspections, remedial works, and statutory compliance services.[2]
Plant hire, civils, and enabling‑works companies engaged on site preparation and infrastructure works (e.g. Kenmare Plant Hire as a high‑value awardee). [1]
IT and professional services providers (software vendors, housing/asset management systems integrators, architects, engineers, legal and financial advisors) supporting development projects and corporate systems.[2][8]

Supplier Tips

Monitor and respond through the national eTenders platform and specialist tender‑intelligence tools, as CHI’s larger construction, maintenance, and IT competitions are advertised there; review past awards (e.g. Bayview Contracts, Pro‑Fire, Kenmare Plant Hire) to benchmark pricing, scope, and service models before bidding.[1][2][8]
For construction and maintenance opportunities, emphasise experience in social and affordable housing, strong safety and compliance track record, and the ability to work collaboratively with approved housing bodies and local authorities; reference delivery of similar multi‑unit schemes, planned maintenance frameworks, and rapid response capabilities.[1][2][6]
For IT and professional services, align proposals to CHI’s housing and asset management focus and to the digitalisation signalled by its software pre‑market consultation, demonstrating integration with housing finance, regulatory reporting, and tenant‑facing processes, and be prepared to support long‑term change management and user training.[8][5]
