Summary of the contracting process

The Northern Ireland Library Authority, known as Libraries NI, is spearheading the development of a new public library in Enniskillen. The project entails replacing the existing library structure with a modern, energy-efficient two-storey building, maintaining its current location on Halls Lane, Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, BT74 7DR. The project will utilise a competitive flexible procedure method within a selective procurement framework. This tender, with an ID of 066616-2025, is currently in the Tender stage. Interested suppliers are required to express their interest by 24 October 2025, with the award process expected to conclude by 29 April 2026. The library aims to achieve a BREEAM 'Excellent' status and will focus on providing an open, inviting space overlooking the river. The overall budget is set at approximately £4.3 million, with a gross amount of £5.16 million.

This procurement process presents significant opportunities for construction firms, particularly those specialising in environmentally sustainable building practices. Businesses with experience in public infrastructure projects, particularly those familiar with UK building regulations and codes, will find this tender appealing. The involvement of CPD - Construction Division, as the procurement advisory body, suggests this project will benefit greatly from expertise in construction and procurement delivery. The criteria for awarding this contract place significant emphasis on price (70%), quality (20%), and social value (10%), making it crucial for potential bidders to provide competitive and comprehensive bids that demonstrate not only cost-efficiency but also commitment to high-quality outcomes and social impact.
