UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Communities, acting as the buying organisation, initiated a tender process for the procurement of an 8x2 Replacement Crane Lorry. The procurement is focused on facilitating transportation for the Historic Environment Division across Northern Ireland, with a primary category in goods related to cranes. The procurement follows an open procedure, inviting electronic submissions via eTendersNI until 9th December 2025 at 15:00. The contract is expected to commence on 23rd March 2026 and conclude by 23rd March 2028. Unfortunately, the tender was recently cancelled on 16th December 2025 due to a lack of suitable responses.

Despite the cancellation, the tender initially represented a substantial opportunity with an estimated value of £396,000 GBP. Businesses specialising in manufacturing and supplying vehicle-mounted cranes, mobile lifting frames, or related logistics services would have been well-suited to compete. The criteria for awarding the contract included both qualitative and quantitative aspects, offering diverse avenues for businesses to present competitive advantages. Future reissuance could offer strategic growth potential, requiring readiness to meet specific transportation and logistical needs across Northern Ireland, as well as compliance with Northern Irish devolved regulations.
