Procurement Information

The Contracting Authority advertised a procurement process for a design and build works contract on eTendersNI in March 2021. The advertised estimated value of the contract was PS4.5m which was below the threshold that applied at that time, therefore a contract notice was not published for this opportunity. The Contracting Authority received one response at PQQ stage which was successfully pre-qualified for the tender stage of the procurement. The Contracting Authority progressed with the tender stage (which included negotiation) and the ultimate value of the contracts awarded was PS14,062,782.00 across 2 sites - Duke Street (PS11,606,282.00) awarded on 16.02.2022 and Victoria Hall, Spencer Road. (PS2,456,500.00) awarded on 08.02.2022 The Contracting Authority is publishing this VEAT notice to inform the market of the procurement process and subsequent contract award. A notice was not published (due to the estimated value falling below the threshold) and the Association will publish a "relevant contract award notice" in line with Regulation 93 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended).
