Summary of the contracting process

Derry City and Strabane District Council procured the supply and installation of pool cover systems for six pools across three council-owned and operated leisure facilities in the Derry City and Strabane Council area. This is a works requirement involving swimming-pool equipment, leisure equipment and associated mechanical engineering installation and building work. The council sought a competent, fully qualified pool system installer able to deliver the systems in accordance with the specifications. The buyer is Derry City and Strabane District Council, based in Derry. The requirement covers physical installation works at leisure facilities rather than the supply of equipment alone, so relevant businesses should be able to manage both the pool-cover systems and their installation on site.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to WJM Building Services Ltd. It used a below-threshold open competition under Northern Ireland’s devolved procurement arrangements. The estimated gross value was £110,000 for the single lot. The tender deadline was 10 October 2025 at 12:00, and the enquiry deadline was 26 September 2025 at 12:00. One bid was received, including one from an SME. The award was made on 9 June 2026 for a gross value of £135,400. The awarded contract period runs from 4 September 2026 to 3 December 2026. The lot was evaluated against criteria set out in the procurement documents; the published details direct suppliers to those documents for the full evaluation basis.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for pool-cover system installation across multiple leisure facilities, with the work combining specialist swimming-pool equipment and practical installation capability. Businesses considering future work for this council would need to be competent and fully qualified to install pool systems, and able to coordinate delivery across six pools and three council-operated sites. Credibility would also depend on the ability to undertake associated mechanical engineering installation and building works, rather than acting only as an equipment supplier. The previous competition attracted a single bid from a large supplier, indicating that a future competitor would need sufficient operational capacity to deliver a multi-site leisure-facilities project through a below-threshold open competition.
