Summary of the contracting process

Derry City and Strabane District Council procured restoration and repair works for four existing war memorials at Castlederg, Derry~Londonderry, Strabane and Sion Mills. The work covers repairing and restoring the monuments, installing new bronze plaques, wreath hangers and interpretation panels, and completing all associated site works. The memorial in the Diamond, Derry~Londonderry, is listed B+. This is a works contract focused on conservation, historic monument restoration, stonework and related building construction. It will suit contractors able to deliver repair and restoration works across multiple memorial sites, including work involving listed heritage assets and the installation of bronze commemorative and interpretive features. The council is the buying organisation and the delivery locations are within its district in Northern Ireland.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Irish Stone on 6 July 2026. It used a below-threshold open competition under the open procedure, with one lot. The tender estimate was £306,000 gross, while the awarded value is £211,950 gross. Three bids reached the final stage, all three from SMEs. The tender deadline was 19 June 2026 at 12:00, and enquiries closed on 12 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract period recorded for the award runs from 4 September 2026 to 6 January 2027. The lot record also gives a contract period of 26 June to 2 November 2026. Evaluation details are set out in the procurement documents rather than summarised in the published award data.

This award demonstrates demand from Derry City and Strabane District Council for specialist conservation and repair of public war memorials, combining heritage restoration with practical site construction. A credible future competitor would need to show the ability to repair existing historic monuments, carry out stonework and associated building works, and install durable bronze plaques, wreath hangers and interpretation panels. Experience of working on listed or otherwise sensitive heritage assets would be commercially relevant, particularly where sites are spread across Castlederg, Derry~Londonderry, Strabane and Sion Mills. The competition attracted three SME final-stage bids, indicating that the requirement was accessible to smaller established contractors as well as larger firms. Suppliers should be prepared to provide evidence supporting their technical approach and delivery capability.
