Summary of the contracting process

Derry City and Strabane District Council sought an integrated consultant team to develop and deliver the new Hazelbank Play Area in Derry. The commission covered design and engineering consultancy, led by a quantity surveyor, NEC4 project manager, civil engineer, structural engineer or landscape architect. The team was to review and revise the existing brief and drawings, address consultation and planning issues through redesign, and progress the scheme through concept, design development, detailed design and works information. Its remit extended through construction on site, the defects period and final handover. The play area is to connect with adjoining land, including a sports centre being built nearby. Relevant disciplines include civil engineering, structural engineering and landscape architecture.

The council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The procurement has since been cancelled: the award information gives the reason as insufficient numbers to generate a competitive list. The enquiry deadline was 17 July 2026 at 12:00, and the submission deadline was 24 July 2026 at 12:00. The planned contract period ran from 30 November 2026 to 30 November 2027. The stated gross contract value was £90,000. The competition was arranged as one lot. The evaluation basis is referred to in the procurement documents, rather than described in the published summary information.

This commission is suited to a multidisciplinary consultancy able to provide an integrated team across quantity surveying, NEC4 project management, civil and structural engineering, and landscape architecture. The lead role could be taken by a professional from any of those disciplines. Suppliers would need to coordinate design development with the existing brief and drawings, respond to consultation and planning requirements, and carry the project from early-stage design through detailed technical information and delivery on site. Experience supporting construction completion, managing the defects period and handing over a public play area would also be relevant. The project’s links to adjoining land and a neighbouring sports centre make coordination with surrounding development part of the delivery context. The council cancelled the competition because too few suppliers were available to form a competitive list.
