UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northern Ireland Water Limited is exploring the market for concrete repair and cementitious coating services at four water treatment works across Northern Ireland. The requirement is classed as services and covers construction-related, engineering, repair and maintenance work, including construction materials and associated coatings. The work is intended for operational water treatment assets, so relevant suppliers are those able to plan and deliver specialist repair activities in utility or industrial environments. The buyer is Northern Ireland Water Limited, which is assessing the market before deciding how to proceed. The scope may involve concrete restoration, protective cementitious coatings and related construction or engineering services across multiple water treatment locations.

This process is at the planning and preliminary market-engagement stage, rather than a tender invitation. Northern Ireland Water Limited is seeking expressions of interest and market feedback on suppliers’ interest, capacity and capability. The engagement milestone is scheduled for 12 August 2026, and the buyer may hold one-to-one supplier meetings in August or September 2026. The buyer’s expected date for the next notice is 21 September 2026. The anticipated contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2033. The procurement is planned as a single lot under the utilities regime. No tender procedure, evaluation method or contract value has yet been set out, so suppliers should treat the current process as preparation for a possible future procurement.

This market enquiry will suit contractors specialising in concrete repair, structural remediation, cementitious coatings and associated construction or engineering services. Suppliers with experience working at water treatment works, industrial sites or other regulated utility infrastructure should be well placed to contribute useful market feedback. The buyer is particularly seeking evidence of available capacity and the capability to deliver the required services across four sites in Northern Ireland. Businesses should prepare concise information on relevant repair and coating techniques, comparable projects, workforce and equipment capacity, geographic coverage, and experience managing work in live operational environments. Specialist subcontractors and firms able to support larger construction or engineering contractors may also find the scope relevant when the procurement reaches the market.
