Summary of the contracting process

Derry City & Strabane District Council procured construction works to install new lighting along existing greenway paths at Bay Road and Boomhall greenspaces in Derry/Londonderry. The scope included the lighting works and associated civil engineering activities: site clearance, drainage, landscaping, fencing, repair of path surfacing and street furniture. This is a public realm and infrastructure project, with work taking place on greenway paths and adjoining greenspace facilities in the Derry area. The requirement is relevant to contractors able to deliver integrated civil engineering, highways-related construction, external lighting and site improvement works, rather than to suppliers of lighting equipment alone.

The procurement is complete and was run as a below-threshold open competition. It had one lot. The tender deadline was 21 November 2025 at 12:00, with enquiries closing on 14 November 2025 at 12:00. The lot was estimated at £350,000 gross. Five bids were received, including five from SMEs. The contract was awarded to M P Coleman Ltd on 5 June 2026 for £391,701.65 gross, or £326,418.04 excluding gross-up, in GBP. The awarded contract period runs from 30 June 2026 to 25 June 2027. The procurement used the works category; the award criteria were set out in the competition documents rather than summarised in the published data.

This award demonstrates demand from Derry City & Strabane District Council for contractors that can combine greenway lighting with associated civil engineering and public realm works in a single delivery package. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need practical capability in external lighting installation, site clearance, drainage, landscaping, fencing, path-surfacing repairs and street furniture works. The project also indicates that the buyer is willing to run an open, below-threshold competition and that SMEs can compete: all five final-stage bids came from SMEs. Suppliers with an integrated delivery team, relevant highways or civil engineering experience, and the capacity to coordinate several site disciplines would be well placed to address this buyer’s comparable requirements.
