Summary of the contracting process

Derry City and Strabane District Council appointed an integrated consultancy team for the Melvin Arena Floodlighting capital project in Strabane, County Tyrone. The requirement covers civil and structural engineering, or mechanical and electrical engineering led consultancy, to develop the design, revise proposals where needed, obtain statutory approvals and manage construction works. The consultant is expected to work closely with the Council and deliver the project within its quality, budget and programme requirements. The services include civil engineering consultancy, structural engineering consultancy and mechanical and electrical installation design for buildings. The work is for the Council’s Melvin Arena project, with delivery in Strabane, County Tyrone.

This below-threshold procurement has completed following an open competition. It comprised one lot, evaluated against criteria set out in the procurement documents. The enquiry deadline was 10 July 2026 and the tender deadline was 17 July 2026. Two bids reached the final stage, both from SMEs. The contract was awarded on 29 July 2026 to DMAC Consulting Engineers Ltd for £41,485 gross. The award contract period is 5 August to 4 December 2026. The tender estimated value was £35,000 gross, while the lot carried the same estimate. Electronic submission was allowed through the specified procurement portal, and the award was scheduled for signature on 4 August 2026.

This award shows that the Council buys integrated engineering consultancy for capital sports and facilities projects, combining design responsibility, statutory approvals and construction management rather than procuring floodlighting installation alone. A credible future competitor would need civil or structural engineering capability, or a mechanical and electrical engineering led team, with the ability to coordinate disciplines and produce designs that respond to an employer’s strategic requirements. Experience managing construction delivery against quality, budget and programme expectations would be important, as would the capacity to secure relevant statutory approvals and manage design revisions. The competition attracted two SME final-stage bids, indicating that a suitably capable smaller consultancy could compete for this type of requirement.
