Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Irwin Way Warehouse" project was managed by Belfast Harbour in Belfast, Northern Ireland. This tender entered the "tender Cancellation" stage on 28 November 2025 due to the need for amendments in the pre-qualification questionnaire and project timeline. Initially part of the construction industry, the project aimed at building a warehouse dedicated to the refurbishment and processing of gas cylinders. With a significant project value estimated at £6-7.2 million, the selective procurement method indicated a competitive and flexible approach. The process is expected to be restarted with a new pre-qualification process advertised in December 2025.

This tender presents opportunities for growth for businesses involved in construction, engineering, and various building trades. Companies specializing in building construction, electrical installation, plumbing, and mechanical installations might find this project particularly advantageous. The opportunity is suitable for firms that can deliver a high-quality build to achieve a BREEAM Excellent standard, involving complex utilities and construction work. SMEs are encouraged to participate, and the structured procedure allows businesses to engage in a competitive environment, providing a platform for securing high-value contracts and expanding market presence.
