Summary of the contracting process

Armagh, Banbridge & Craigavon Borough Council procured Phase 1 restoration works on the Callan River, south of Milford village in County Armagh. The project forms part of the PEACEPLUS CALM partnership, involving East Border Region, the Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute, Inland Fisheries Ireland, the Loughs Agency and Ulster University. Its purpose is to address excess nutrients in watercourses, reducing water pollution and biodiversity loss across river catchments. The work is classified as construction for water projects, with associated agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services. It also includes fencing-related work, covering the erection and provision of fences. The council is the buying organisation and the works are located on the Callan River.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. There was one lot, evaluated solely on financial criteria. The tender deadline was 18 July 2026, after being extended, and the enquiry deadline was 1 July 2026. The estimated gross value was £180,000. J&K Contracts Ltd was awarded the lot, with the award recorded as active. The contract was signed on 3 August 2026, runs from 4 August 2026 to 30 November 2026, and has a gross value of £130,644. Electronic submission was allowed. The contract remains active, and the awarded supplier is a Cookstown-based small and medium-sized enterprise. No separate award values or additional lots are recorded.

This procurement indicates a requirement for contractors able to deliver practical river restoration and watercourse construction works in County Armagh, including fencing and related land-management activity. A credible competitor would need relevant experience and qualifications for working in or alongside river environments, controlling environmental risks and carrying out construction safely around watercourses. Capability in fencing installation and the associated agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural or apicultural services would be directly relevant. The selected supplier was a small and medium-sized enterprise, showing that the requirement was accessible to a contractor of that scale rather than limited to a major infrastructure business. Firms combining civil engineering or water-project delivery with site-based environmental and fencing expertise would be well placed for a comparable requirement from this council.
