Summary of the contracting process

Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council is procuring inspection, testing, planned and reactive maintenance, fault response and reporting services for Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS) across its property portfolio. The work covers centrally supervised, networked and engineered control systems, including those serving large leisure facilities and principal administrative buildings. Assets include controllers, supervisory systems, field devices and associated infrastructure. The service is intended to keep building services safe, efficient, reliable and compliant, while supporting energy efficiency, occupant comfort and continuity of service. Delivery is across the Council’s properties in the Lisburn and Castlereagh area. This is a public-sector services opportunity for businesses specialising in BEMS, building controls, energy-management systems and associated maintenance.

The procurement has reached tender: the Council invited offers through an open procedure. Tenders had to be submitted electronically through the specified eTenders service by 28 August 2026 at 23:59 BST, with submissions in English. The Council expected to complete its award decision by 15 September 2026 at 23:59 BST. The contract is scheduled to run from 15 September 2026 to 14 September 2029, with an option to renew for a further two years, giving a maximum end date of 14 September 2031. Its estimated value is £260,000 excluding VAT and £312,000 including VAT. There is one lot. Evaluation is weighted 70% cost and 30% quality.

This opportunity suits contractors with practical capability in Building Energy Management Systems and building-services controls. Suppliers should be able to inspect, test and maintain centrally supervised, networked or engineered systems, covering controllers, supervisory platforms, field devices and related infrastructure. The requirement also calls for timely diagnosis and management of faults or failures, reactive response, technical reporting and ongoing attention to system resilience and operational reliability. Relevant businesses are likely to include specialist BEMS maintenance providers, building controls engineers and firms supporting heating, ventilation and associated plant. Experience across complex public, leisure or administrative buildings would be commercially relevant because the portfolio includes large leisure facilities and principal administrative buildings.
