Summary of the contracting process

The Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute (AFBI) in Belfast has completed the procurement process for the supply, delivery, installation, and commissioning of river monitoring equipment to support its Catchments Research Unit. The procuring entity, CPD - Supplies and Service Division, conducted the process using an open procedure method within the "goods" category. Final goods must be delivered by 31 March 2026, with installation scheduled for a later date. This procurement falls under Northern Irish devolved regulations and is aligned with central government policies. The contract period starts on 4 February 2026 and ends on 31 March 2028, with the potential to extend for up to four additional 12-month periods. The contract, valued at £404,057 excluding VAT, has been awarded to Lab & Process Instrumentation Limited.

This procurement initiative provides an opportunity for SMEs specialising in environmental services, agricultural, and precision equipment sectors to engage with central government needs. Businesses with expertise in telemetry, sensors, and data integration are well-suited to compete within such tenders. By participating, companies can expand their client base within public sector entities and reinforce their market presence within the environmental technology industry. Moreover, the contract allows flexibility through potential extensions, enabling sustained business growth and long-term planning. Given the competitive nature of the open procedure, submitting a technically compliant bid would have been crucial for winning the contract.
