Summary of the contracting process

The Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council is seeking to establish a framework agreement for the Hire of Plant and Machinery, as detailed in the tender titled "FRAMEWORK SCHEDULE - AT2 HIRE OF PLANT AND MACHINERY." This procurement falls under the construction and civil engineering machinery and equipment hire industry category, located in the United Kingdom, specifically in the region of UKN0E. The tender is in the "Tender" stage with key deadlines including an enquiry period ending on 16 June 2025 and a submission deadline of 23 June 2025. The procurement method is an open competition, and it is intended for services below the threshold as outlined by Northern Irish devolved regulations. The contract value is set at a gross amount of GBP 204,000, with a net value of GBP 170,000. The contract period is set to start on 1 September 2025 and potentially extend to 31 August 2028, with renewal options available.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the construction and civil engineering sectors, particularly those specialising in machinery and equipment hire with operational personnel. The open procurement method ensures broad competition, allowing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to participate effectively. Companies focusing on cost efficiency and quick service delivery are well-suited to compete, as the framework agreement prioritises the lowest cost basis for awarding contracts. Additionally, the possibility of contract renewal offers no guaranteed service levels but provides the potential for ongoing business growth aligned with satisfactory performance. This tender allows businesses to align with government needs, potentially fostering long-term partnerships and stability in revenue streams.
