Summary of the contracting process

Derry City and Strabane District Council procured works to remove and replace spectator seating and the associated framed seating supports in the South Stand at The Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium in Derry. The requirement covers weatherproof, durable and fit-for-purpose seating, with sufficient strength and resilience for continual exposure to the elements and regular heavy foot traffic. The seating frames and support structures must use strong, long-lasting materials that provide safety and stability over time while keeping ongoing maintenance to a minimum. This is construction work connected with sports-ground structures (CPV 45212221), delivered for a public stadium operated by the council.

The procurement is complete following a below-threshold open competition. The enquiry deadline was 10 April 2026 at 12:00 and the tender submission deadline was 24 April 2026 at 12:00. One lot was awarded to W Doherty Construction for £180,000 gross. The award was made on 19 June 2026, with the awarded contract period running from 29 January 2027 to 27 February 2027. Three bids reached the final stage, including three from SMEs. Evaluation was based on the criteria set out in the procurement documents. The tender was for works and was below the relevant threshold; submissions were required electronically through eTendersNI.

This outcome indicates demand from Derry City and Strabane District Council for specialist stadium and sports-ground construction contractors able to deliver seating replacement as a complete works package. A credible competitor would need experience removing existing spectator seating and support structures, installing new framed seating, and working safely in an operational or recently used stadium environment. Relevant capability includes supplying and fitting weather-resistant, durable seating and structural supports designed for repeated heavy pedestrian use, long service life and low maintenance. The three final-stage bids, all from SMEs, show that the requirement was accessible to smaller construction businesses with the necessary technical capacity. Evidence of comparable stadium, sports-venue or public-sector works would strengthen future competition.
