Summary of the contracting process

Derry City and Strabane District Council procured a preferred development partner for the sale and development of land at Templemore Road, Derry, adjacent to the proposed Templemore Leisure Centre. The subject property is approximately 3.03 hectares in the south-east corner of the existing Templemore Sport Complex and is being disposed of because it is not needed for the leisure centre redevelopment. A further approximately 0.81 hectares of Department for Communities land may be available, subject to negotiation, and approximately 0.9 hectares of adjoining council land could potentially support a shared community facility. The overall development opportunity is therefore approximately 4.74 hectares. The requirement is classified as land sale and purchase services.

The procurement is complete and the council selected Derry City Football Club Ltd as the supplier. It used an open procedure for a single lot. One bid was received and reached the final stage. The tender closed on 27 March 2026, with enquiries closing on 13 March 2026; the award date was 10 September 2026 and the standstill period ends on 29 September 2026. The awarded gross value is £188,000, compared with an estimated gross tender value of £187,000. The award period runs from 1 October 2026 to 1 October 2031. Evaluation weighted cost at 60%, quality at 20% and social value at 20%. The award was pending at publication, with signature scheduled for 1 October 2026.

This procurement indicates demand from the council for a development partner able to take forward a substantial land-led regeneration opportunity in Derry, including site development and negotiations over adjoining land. A credible competitor would need property development capability, financial and commercial capacity to acquire or develop land, and the ability to manage negotiations with the council and potentially the Department for Communities. The evaluation gives greater weight to cost than to quality or social value, but all three matter: suppliers would need a competitive commercial proposal, a convincing development approach and clearly evidenced community benefits. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement was not limited to a large corporate developer.
