Summary of the contracting process

The Education Authority is procuring an integrated supply team for the Iveagh Primary School project in Belfast. The works comprise demolition of the existing school buildings and construction of a new 10-classroom school building with a gross internal floor area of 1,847 square metres. The requirement also covers all associated site works. Suppliers will be expected to use Modern Methods of Construction, including precast concrete elements, to support quality, programme certainty, buildability, health and safety performance and resource efficiency. This is a major education construction project, suited to organisations able to provide integrated delivery across demolition, school building construction, site works and modern construction methods. The procurement is categorised as works and concerns construction work for education buildings.

The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a two-stage selective competitive flexible procedure. Stage one assesses conditions of participation; stage two assesses quality, social value and price, with the contract awarded to the Most Advantageous Tender. Expressions of interest are due by 8 September 2026 at 3pm, and enquiries close on 1 September 2026 at 3pm. The contract is scheduled to run from 14 June 2027 to 14 September 2029, with an award decision due by 17 May 2027. The estimated value is £7,000,000 excluding VAT and £8,400,000 including VAT. Quality is weighted at 25%, social value at 10% and price at 65%. Electronic submission is allowed in English, and an electronic auction is included.

This opportunity suits an integrated construction business or team able to take responsibility for a complete school project, from demolition through to construction and associated external works. Relevant capability includes delivering education buildings, coordinating multiple workstreams and applying Modern Methods of Construction, particularly precast concrete construction. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate the technical and professional capacity needed for a substantial 10-classroom building and the ability to manage quality, programme certainty, buildability, health and safety and resource efficiency outcomes. The two-stage structure means businesses must first satisfy the conditions of participation before progressing to assessment against quality, social value and price. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so an SME with appropriate delivery capacity may be well placed to compete.
