Summary of the contracting process

The DfI Transport and Road Asset Management (TRAM) is currently overseeing a tender for a project titled "DfI TRAM T-1171 Interim Surfacing Contract 2026 - ISCW1 Dungannon." This tender pertains to the "works" category, focusing on road surfacing maintenance and improvements in the Dungannon area, which falls under the Northern Ireland region (UKN0B) in the UK. The procurement process, identified with the stage "tender," initiated on 10th July 2026, and it is set to close on 11th August 2026. The contract is a measured term contract, initially planned for two months but can be extended up to twelve months at the contracting authority's discretion, ensuring continuity of essential highway services while waiting for a more permanent solution through the Road Asset Management Surfacing Framework. The open procurement method ensures transparency and competitiveness, with the total contract value estimated at GBP 4.3 million.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in civil engineering and road surface works. Such companies can benefit from engaging in a contract that involves a wide variety of works, from carriageway resurfacing to traffic management. The open competition nature of the procurement process is particularly conducive to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as they are eligible to bid provided they meet the tender criteria. This contract must align with businesses that have the technical capability and expertise in executing surfacing and associated highway works, offering growth through potential repeat Work Orders within the contractual period. Participation in this tender could establish long-term relationships with public sector entities and position businesses for future opportunities within Northern Ireland's infrastructure projects.
