Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the project titled "Proposed Community Sports Facility at Laurelvale" was led by Armagh, Banbridge & Craigavon Borough Council, classified as a sub-central government public authority under Northern Irish devolved regulations. The project involves the design and project management of a new cricket and community hub at Laurelvale Cricket Club, located in Tandragee, Northern Ireland. The procurement process concluded with the award stage on 8th July 2026, and the contract will be active from 25th June 2026 to 31st October 2028. This project falls under the services category, with a procurement method classified as open competition, specifically below threshold. The procurement was aimed at comprehensively managing design and architectural services, with related services covering construction management and engineering consultancy.

This opportunity presents significant growth prospects for consultancy firms specialising in architectural, engineering, and construction management services. Businesses with expertise in civil, structural engineering, and associated consultancy services can benefit immensely from this project given the diverse scope of the required services. The aim to enhance community facilities provides businesses with the chance to contribute to the long-term development of community infrastructure, potentially leading to further collaboration opportunities with the council. Larger scale firms, such as Paul McAlister Architects Ltd, which successfully secured the contract, indicate that entities with established competencies in multi-disciplinary project management are well-suited to compete for such tenders. The projected business activities could foster continuous re-investment into developing community infrastructures, thus paving the way for ongoing projects and potential collaborations with regional councils.

Notice Title

PROPOSED COMMUNITY SPORTS FACILITY AT LAURELVALE

Notice Description

Tenders are invited from suitably qualified Consultancy firms for the Design and Project Management of a new Cricket and Community Hub on the existing site of Lauralvale Cricket Club 25 Mullavilly Rd. Tandragee, BT62 2LX. Since 1875 the grounds and facility has provided the focus for many village activities and functions. The club has just celebrated 150 years existence, and to mark this the Committee want to secure a viable long-term future for this established club and develop the facilities and activities that take place there. Over the years due to its location in the centre of the villages of Laurelvale and Mullavilly, many activities other than cricket now take place within the grounds. There is a real need to build a new, fit for purpose facility to host these activities. This capital project will kickstart the first phase of the club's vision - the building of a new community hub and changing facility adjacent to the current cricket pitch ground (Building B) This new single storey building will have a multi-use space where groups will meet and during the cricket season will also act as changing rooms. It will also have a disabled toilet and baby changing facilities. The new facility would allow for more programming of indoor activities, longer opening hours. Increase in usage of the facility will lead to increased revenues, all of which will be ploughed back into maintaining and developing other facilities in the club's vision. Council wishes to develop this project with a consultant.
