Summary of the contracting process

Armagh, Banbridge & Craigavon Borough Council procured consultant services for the Oxford Island toilet provision. The requirement covers architectural, construction and engineering design, including integrated engineering services, to identify the optimal solution and support its efficient and safe delivery. The consultant is expected to work in partnership with the Council, help develop performance indicators and support best practice. Regular performance assessments are part of the service, with a focus on achieving required standards and continuous improvement. The work is associated with Oxford Island and is relevant to architectural practices, engineering consultancies and multidisciplinary construction-design advisers able to develop practical public-facing facilities and advise a public authority through solution development and delivery.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a below-threshold open competition, with bids due by 17 April 2026 at 12:00 and enquiries closing on 10 April 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was one lot, evaluated on the stated basis of price and quality. The tender estimate was £42,000 gross, while the active contract with Paul McAlister Architects Ltd is valued at £68,424 gross. The award was made to Paul McAlister Architects Ltd, and the contract was signed on 14 August 2026. The contract period runs from 17 August 2026 to 28 February 2029. Electronic submission was allowed, and the opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This procurement indicates demand from the Council for consultancy that combines architectural and engineering design with practical advice on public facilities. A credible future competitor would need a multidisciplinary team able to identify and compare options, develop an optimal solution, and support safe, efficient delivery. Experience of working collaboratively with a public-sector client would be relevant, particularly where the consultant must help define performance indicators, apply best practice and undertake regular performance assessments. The requirement also favours suppliers able to demonstrate quality management, continuous improvement and the capacity to monitor delivery against agreed standards. Architectural practices, engineering design firms and integrated construction consultants, including SMEs and relevant VCSEs, are the closest fit.
