Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Lurgan Cemetery Ground Investigation was initiated by Armagh, Banbridge & Craigavon Borough Council, a public authority under sub-central government in Northern Ireland. This project involves conducting intrusive ground investigation works to assess the geotechnical and geo-environmental conditions in Lurgan Cemetery, essential for the planned extension. Located in Craigavon, United Kingdom, this contract falls under the services category, particularly focusing on ground investigation and geotechnical engineering services. The procurement used an open method below the threshold, with the tender stage completed, and the contract now active, with a period running from 9th March 2026 to 8th March 2027, and a provision for renewal if additional locations are identified.

This contract provides substantial opportunities for businesses in the geotechnical engineering and environmental services sector. Larger companies with expertise in ground investigation and geotechnical assessments would find this project fits their capabilities well, especially considering the open competition nature of the procurement. The contract’s potential for renewal and additional works offers a solid business growth avenue, promoting sustained engagement and revenue potential for successful tenderers like Causeway Geotech Ltd, the awarded supplier. This procurement fits companies aiming to expand their portfolio within the Northern Irish region, given its scale and scope of work.
