Summary of the contracting process

The Education Authority is procuring an Integrated Consultant Team for St Patrick’s Grammar School, Armagh. The team will develop the employer’s brief and provide the architectural, engineering, quantity surveying and construction project management services needed to upgrade the school’s heating system. Its responsibilities will include designing the works in accordance with Department of Education handbooks and relevant statutory regulations, procuring and appointing the contracting team, and managing and overseeing delivery through RIBA Stages 2 to 7. The work will take place at St Patrick’s Grammar School in Armagh. The Education Authority, based in Belfast, is the buying organisation. This is a professional services requirement covering architectural design, mechanical and electrical building-services engineering, structural engineering consultancy, quantity surveying and construction project management.

The procurement has reached tender: the Education Authority invited offers through a selective procedure using a competitive flexible procedure. It comprises one lot. Expressions of interest and submissions were due by 7 September 2026 at 3pm, and the expected award decision date is 31 December 2026. The contract is intended to run from 31 December 2026 to 31 December 2031. Its estimated value is £432,066 excluding VAT and £518,479 including VAT. Evaluation is based on quality at 50%, social value at 10% and price at 40%. Electronic submission is allowed, and submissions must be in English. The successful team will be appointed to procure, appoint and manage the construction contracting team and oversee the project throughout the stated RIBA stages.

This opportunity suits multidisciplinary consultancy practices able to provide an integrated team covering architecture, mechanical and electrical engineering, structural engineering, quantity surveying and construction project management. Suppliers should be able to develop an employer’s brief for a school heating-system upgrade, work within Department of Education handbooks and relevant statutory regulations, and coordinate design and delivery across RIBA Stages 2 to 7. Strong project-management capability is important because the appointed team will procure and appoint the contracting team, then manage and oversee its work on the employer’s behalf. The requirement is suited to organisations with experience coordinating building-services design and construction delivery in an occupied or educational setting, and with the capacity to sustain consultancy, procurement and oversight responsibilities across the full project lifecycle.
