Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Northern Ireland Water Limited, titled "IF030 - Framework for Compressors, Blowers and Diffusers," has reached the award stage as of 3rd October 2025. The industry category involves machinery for the treatment of sewage, with a focus on the supply, installation, commissioning, and maintenance of relevant equipment. The framework is set for a duration of two years with options to extend up to 2023. While lots 1, 2, and 3 were cancelled, awards have been successfully made to multiple suppliers, including Drilling & Pumping Supplies Ltd.

Companies that excel in quality and cost efficiency will find this tender attractive, ensuring consistent business through the contract period with potential for extensions. SMEs and large enterprises alike, capable of meeting the technical specifications and delivery terms, are well-suited to compete within this framework. The provision of a robust maintenance service will be pivotal in supporting infrastructure projects driven by Northern Ireland Water.
