Summary of the contracting process

The focus is on securing consultancy services for minor works schemes with a works value of up to £3 million, covering services in architectural design, building, civil, and structural engineering, as well as construction management and supervision. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a Pre-Market Engagement Information Day scheduled for 5th June 2026 at the NIFRS Learning & Development College in Cookstown. This process falls under the Northern Irish devolved regulations and is pertinent to the services industry category. Interested parties should confirm attendance by 29th May 2026.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in consultancy for minor construction projects. Businesses specialising in architectural and engineering services, as well as those in construction management, are well-placed to compete for inclusion in the framework due to its emphasis on consultancy services across various domains. By participating, businesses can extend their reach and solidify their presence within the public sector in Northern Ireland, aligning well with NIFRS’s future undertakings in infrastructural development. The framework agreement suggests potential long-term collaborations, with possibilities for renewal, fostering sustainable business growth in the region from April 2027 to a possible extension till March 2031.
