Summary of the contracting process

Northern Ireland Electricity Networks Limited has completed the procurement process for the "Provision of Design Team Services" under the ID "S1180". This contract, falling under the industry category of architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services (CPV code: 71000000), pertains to several types of projects including the construction of new permanent buildings, refurbishment of key operational office buildings, and the design of a new office build replacement in Northern Ireland. The procurement method used was a selective, negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition. The process transitioned through various stages including the initial tender released in September 2023 and the final contract award being issued on 30th December 2024, amounting to £3,000,000.

Companies awarded include GM Design Associates, McGirr Architects, and Collins Rolston Architects, all of which benefited from the strategic procurement framework aimed at bolstering local infrastructure development.
