Summary of the contracting process

The Belfast Harbour Commissioners (BHC) recently announced the cancellation of the tender for the "West Bank Road Logistics Warehouse" project, which was intended for the design and construction of a logistics warehouse and associated parking areas at West Bank Road, Belfast. This procurement, classified under harbour construction works, was set to use a selective method via a negotiated procedure with prior call for competition. Although the tender process was active, it has been discontinued and a new traditional procurement approach will be initiated, with further announcements expected regarding a fresh tender process.

This cancellation presents a significant opportunity for construction companies, particularly those with expertise in harbour or industrial building projects, to engage in the forthcoming tender. Businesses that can fulfil the criteria for a negotiated procedure, including providing competitive bids and demonstrating prior experience in similar works, should prepare to participate actively in the new process. Companies interested in this type of work should also stay attentive to updates from BHC as they prepare to issue new contract notices in the near future.
