Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Infrastructure (DfI) has successfully completed the procurement process for the "DfI TRAM T-1151 Interim Surfacing Framework," a significant project under the works category focusing on road asset maintenance and civil engineering in Northern Ireland. This open procedure resulted in frameworks covering areas such as Strabane, Armagh, Derry, Banbridge and Craigavon, Fermanagh, and Ards and North Down, with the overall contract value totalling £95 million. Key activities include asphalt surfacing, street furniture adjustment, and carriageway drainage improvements, with contracts signed on 12 November 2025 and 3 September 2025 for different lots. The framework covers six areas with values ranging from £50,000 to £5 million, ensuring competitive procurement and enabling multiple suppliers to work within defined geographic locations.

This framework presents expansive growth opportunities for companies in the construction and civil engineering sectors, particularly those with capabilities in road surfacing and infrastructure enhancement. The procurement restricted individual suppliers to a maximum number of lots, promoting healthy competition and diversification. This framework is especially attractive for SMEs as they are encouraged to participate in multiple lot tenders. Companies involved in interim asphalt surfacing, traffic management, and related road maintenance services will find numerous chances to secure consistent work across Northern Ireland, fostering business growth and market presence. The awarded contracts reflect a balance of quality, social value, and cost considerations, offering a dynamic environment for both established and smaller firms to thrive.
