Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by the Department of Justice Northern Ireland centred around the FSNI Project Atlas, a significant construction initiative involving the creation of new office and laboratory facilities for Forensic Science Northern Ireland. The three-storey building, set in Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland, also includes ancillary structures and sophisticated site works within a shared operational PSNI complex. Initially planned as per the prior information notice (PIN) on 17 August 2023, the project progressed through various procurement stages including planning, tender, and award, before being completed on 17 February 2026. The procurement followed a restricted procedure under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, ensuring careful selection of economic operators with a focus on quality and price as primary award criteria. Following an amendment, the deadline for receipt of tenders was extended to 4 December 2023, offering more time for potential bidders to participate.

The FSNI Project Atlas presents numerous opportunities for various business sectors, particularly those in building construction work, electrical, mechanical, and specialised subcontracting fields. Firms with experience in large-scale construction and maintenance services stand to gain from the growth prospects associated with the project, particularly through its three-year aftercare service included in the contract. Companies like JOHN GRAHAM CONSTRUCTION LIMITED, who were awarded the contract, have demonstrated the capability to deliver on such comprehensive projects amid the rigorous selection process. Businesses focusing on sustainability and innovation in construction will find appeal in the project due to the operational complexity and collaborative environment offered by the PSNI complex. Opportunities for economic expansion also arise from the potential engagement with RIBA Plan of Work 2020 Stages 4 to 7 services as required by the comprehensive nature of the facility. Overall, the project encourages growth for qualified businesses, potentially invigorating the regional construction industry in Northern Ireland.
