Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process led by Northern Ireland Electricity Networks Limited has successfully concluded with the award of a framework agreement for Temporary Traffic Management Services, under the title "S1126 (2026) Temporary Traffic Management". The process commenced in September 2025 and reached the award stage on 12 May 2026. The services are designed to support NIE Networks in handling new customer connections, asset upgrades, and emergency responses across Northern Ireland, with operations centred in Belfast. Conducted through an open, competitive flexible procedure, this tender falls under the utilities special regime and is valued at GBP 11.76 million gross. The contract period extends from December 2026 to November 2030, with possible renewals extending to 2034, demonstrating a potentially long-lasting partnership opportunity for involved suppliers.

This tender represents significant growth potential for businesses specialising in traffic management, particularly those capable of pre-site planning, designing traffic management plans, and managing on-site traffic control operations. The procurement is specifically advantageous for small and medium-sized enterprises, as evidenced by the award to Class One Traffic Management Limited, an SME based in Bonnybridge. Companies adept in delivering comprehensive street works management, adhering to legislative requirements, and engaging in traffic-control services are well-suited to capitalise on such opportunities. As this framework agreement involves setting up, managing, and dismantling traffic management systems, businesses that can efficiently manage these tasks will benefit from the work volume and duration provided by NIE Networks' long-term needs.
