Summary of the contracting process

The Derry City and Strabane District Council is seeking contractors for the Strabane Public Realm Scheme, a significant civil engineering project aimed at revitalising multiple streets within the Strabane town centre, including Railway Street, Derry Road, and Castle Street among others. This procurement process, conducted under the "restricted procedure" method, involves the provision of high-quality paving, kerbing, earthworks, and more to enhance the area's connectivity and attractiveness. The latest stage of this process, as of 27th February 2026, has resulted in the awarding of a contract valued at approximately £4.54 million to FP McCann. Submissions were processed via eTendersNI with a tender deadline having been on 28th March 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in construction and civil engineering, particularly those proficient in managing complex urban projects. Companies that can deliver high-quality interventions while ensuring minimal disruption to the town's commercial and pedestrian activities are well-suited for such opportunities. Additionally, firms with strong stakeholder management skills to coordinate with local authorities and the Department for Infrastructure (DfI) will be invaluable. As evidenced by the previous tendering round where large-scale organisations such as FP McCann were contenders, this project could be a lucrative prospect for well-established companies seeking to expand their footprint in regional development projects.
