Summary of the contracting process

The procurement covers services to maintain and improve Building Management Systems used across Health and Social Care in Northern Ireland. It is divided into two areas: maintenance and optimisation of existing systems, and analytical assessment and reporting using those systems. The services support electrical, mechanical and building installations, including central heating. The buying organisations are Belfast, Northern, South Eastern, Southern and Western Health and Social Care Trusts, together with the NI Fire and Rescue Service. Work is required across their sites in Belfast, Antrim, Portadown, Londonderry and Lisburn. The category is building services maintenance, including electrical and mechanical systems, heating and associated analysis and reporting.

The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an above-threshold open procedure. The deadline for enquiries was 8 October 2026 at 15:00, and the tender submission deadline is 15 October 2026 at 15:00. The planned award decision date is 18 January 2027. Both lots are scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032, with renewal periods of up to 36 months and a maximum end date of 31 March 2035. Lot 1, maintenance and optimisation, is valued at £27,228,231 excluding VAT (£32,673,877 including VAT). Lot 2, analytical assessment and reporting, is valued at £1,497,699 excluding VAT (£1,797,238 including VAT). The total estimated value is £28,725,930 excluding VAT (£34,471,115 including VAT). Each lot uses pass/fail mandatory quality requirements, social value weighted at 10% and price at 90%.

This opportunity suits building services contractors and specialist Building Management Systems providers able to maintain, optimise and analyse existing control systems across a large, multi-site public estate. Lot 1 is aimed at suppliers with practical capability in the repair, maintenance and optimisation of electrical and mechanical building installations, including central heating. Lot 2 suits firms with analytical, monitoring and reporting expertise that can turn Building Management Systems data into useful assessments and reports. Suppliers can target either service area or build a proposition covering both. The scale and spread of the participating health, care and emergency-service organisations favour businesses with sufficient operational capacity to support sites across Northern Ireland, deliver planned and responsive maintenance, and provide consistent reporting. Social value forms part of the scored evaluation.
