Summary of the contracting process

Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council is procuring refurbishment and mechanical and electrical upgrade works at Orchard Leisure Centre in Craigavon. The project will refurbish the existing Vitality Suite, including stripping out the current suite and forming new partitions, floor finishes, ceiling finishes and wall finishes. It also includes installing a new sanarium, plunge pools and showers. Mechanical engineering installation works and electrical engineering installation works will be carried out throughout the facility, alongside associated building construction works. This is a single works requirement covering the refurbishment of the leisure facility and upgrades to its mechanical and electrical services. It will suit contractors able to deliver coordinated leisure-centre refurbishment and building-services works.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is one lot, with a contract period from 30 November 2026 to 30 November 2027. The estimated value is £2,400,000 gross, including the single lot value. Suppliers could submit enquiries until 17 August 2026 at 12:00, and the tender submission deadline was 24 August 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission was allowed. The contract is to be awarded to the Most Advantageous Tender, assessed on price and quality. The work is below the applicable threshold and is being procured under Northern Irish devolved public procurement regulations.

This opportunity suits a principal contractor or suitably experienced building-services contractor with the capacity to manage a substantial, integrated refurbishment within an operating leisure facility. Relevant capability includes controlled strip-out, internal partitioning, flooring, ceilings and wall finishes, together with the installation of sanarium facilities, plunge pools and showers. Competitors should be able to coordinate mechanical engineering installation and electrical engineering installation works throughout the wider centre, rather than treating the Vitality Suite in isolation. The requirement will favour businesses with experience delivering complex commercial or public-sector refurbishment projects, managing multiple specialist trades, sequencing construction and services work, and completing building upgrades to the required quality within the contract period.
