Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the supply, delivery, installation, commissioning, and maintenance of Rotating Biological Contactors (RBCs) was conducted by Northern Ireland Water Limited, a public authority classified under sub-central government regulations of Northern Ireland. Located in Belfast, Northern Ireland, the procedure followed a competitive flexible procurement method under the utilities special regime. The procurement stage is complete, and the contracts have been signed with a duration from 11th November 2025 to 10th November 2028, with potential extensions up to November 2032. The main service delivery location is across Northern Ireland, with industry categories including machinery for the treatment of sewage, sewage plant equipment, and sewage services. The project has been divided into three lots based on population equivalency, and the award status is active with contracts signed on 10th November 2025.
