Summary of the contracting process

Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council is procuring perimeter fencing works at Selshion Area of Special Scientific Interest (ASSI) in County Armagh. The contractor will provide and install stock-proof fencing around protected peatland to support conservation grazing, prevent unauthorised motor-vehicle access and mark the habitat boundary. The wider PEAT+ project aims to restore peatland across 19 sites, improving biodiversity and carbon capture, and is led by Ulster Wildlife with eight project partners, including the council. This is a works contract covering fencing erection and associated construction and land-management activity. Delivery is at Selshion ASSI in County Armagh, making it relevant to fencing, rural construction, agricultural, forestry, horticultural and environmental contractors able to work in a protected habitat.

The procurement reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The enquiry deadline was 25 August 2026 at 23:59, and the tender submission deadline was 1 September 2026 at 23:59. Offers may be submitted electronically via eTendersNI. The single lot has an estimated value of £80,000 excluding VAT, or £96,000 including VAT. The contract period is from 14 September 2026 to 16 November 2026. The award criterion is 100% cost, so price is the sole stated basis for evaluating tenders. The requirement is below the applicable threshold and is governed by Northern Irish devolved procurement regulations. The council is the contracting authority and buyer for this work.

This opportunity suits contractors with demonstrated experience delivering fencing or comparable rural construction works, particularly in environmentally sensitive or protected locations. Suppliers should be able to install robust stock-proof perimeter fencing, work safely around peatland and conservation areas, and manage access restrictions and site protection requirements. Environmental awareness is expressly sought, alongside suitable qualifications and experience. Relevant businesses may include fencing specialists, agricultural and forestry contractors, rural civil engineering firms, and environmental land-management providers with the practical equipment and workforce to complete a short, site-based installation project. The work also favours suppliers able to coordinate with a council-led, multi-partner peatland restoration programme and meet the required delivery timetable.
