Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Finance, Northern Ireland, through its Construction and Procurement Delivery (CPD), is overseeing the Pan Government Framework for Ground Investigation Works 2023. This procurement initiative is intended to establish a framework agreement that facilitates ground investigation works for public sector bodies in Northern Ireland. The primary industry category is 'works,' particularly focusing on ground investigation work (CPV 45111250), covering multiple regions, including Northern, Eastern, Western, and Southern Areas of Northern Ireland. The procurement process is currently in the 'Award' stage, with four lots awarded, marking the completion phase. The contracting process involves an open procedure, and contracts have been signed as of 15th December 2023. The framework’s value is anticipated to reach up to £8,000,000, demonstrating a significant opportunity for businesses in this field.

This procurement presents valuable opportunities for businesses involved in construction, particularly those specialising in geotechnical investigation services. Companies that provide expertise in boreholes, drillholes, and environmental testing can greatly benefit from this framework. Given the structure of the Lots, participation is limited to two Lots per business, thus promoting competition and allowing diverse businesses to take part. The procurement’s geographic coverage offers ample scope for local businesses to engage with public sector projects across Northern Ireland. Businesses registered with Constructionline, possessing a minimum category value of £175,000, are particularly well-suited to compete in this tender, potentially fostering business growth via sustained public sector contracts. Additionally, the framework agreement underscores the importance of quality and price in the award criteria, providing an avenue for competitive tendering.
