UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Derry City and Strabane District Council involved the tender titled "T25-143CAP Cemeteries Specialist Engineering Consultancy - Construction," focusing on civil engineering consultancy services. As part of this initiative, the council sought to appoint a civil engineer-led Integrated Consultant Team (ICT) to undertake the design, planning, procurement, management, and supervision of cemetery extensions in Northern Ireland, specifically in Derry. This was an open competition procurement process, conducted below the threshold, with the tender status marked as complete due to the tender cancellation on 24 November 2025, following no tender submissions. The award status was cancelled, as no tender returns were received by the final status date of 14 November 2025. Important deadlines included the intended contract period from 1 December 2025 to 30 November 2026, although this was ultimately not executed.

Despite its cancellation, the initial scope offered extensive business opportunities for firms with capabilities in civil engineering consultancy, particularly those experienced with planning and managing significant construction extensions. Local businesses in and around Northern Ireland, with a prowess for public sector projects or a focus on cemetery infrastructure, could have greatly benefited from this tender through potential strategic partnerships and community engagement. This requirement pointed towards businesses equipped to handle the comprehensive demands of the planning, design, and oversight required for such public sector infrastructure projects, presenting growth opportunities through involvement in regional development projects. Although the immediate tender was withdrawn, similar future projects might provide valuable avenues for qualified businesses looking to expand their scope of operations in the public sector through intricate consultancy and construction services.
