Summary of the contracting process

Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council is procuring works to support peatland restoration at Crossbane Lough Area of Special Scientific Interest (ASSI) in County Armagh. The contractor will supply and install approximately 1.5 kilometres of perimeter fencing, native hedgerow and cattle drinkers. The works are intended to protect sensitive peatland habitat from grazing animals, provide stockproof containment and support potential future conservation grazing. The requirement combines fencing erection, water-related construction and agricultural or environmental works. It is funded through the PEAT+ project, administered by the Special EU Programmes Body, under the PEACEPLUS programme. Delivery will take place around Crossbane Lough in County Armagh, making this relevant to contractors able to work on rural conservation and land-management sites in Northern Ireland.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition, with electronic submission allowed through eTendersNI. It is a single works requirement with an estimated value of £30,000 excluding VAT, or £36,000 including VAT. The buyer set 25 August 2026 at 23:59 for enquiries and 1 September 2026 at 23:59 for tender submissions. The contract period is 14 September 2026 to 16 November 2026. Offers will be evaluated entirely on cost, with cost carrying 100% of the weighting. The opportunity is below the applicable threshold and is being run under Northern Irish devolved procurement regulations. The scope covers the complete supply and installation package rather than separate categories of work.

This opportunity suits a competent contractor with practical experience of rural fencing, agricultural infrastructure and habitat-protection works. Relevant suppliers are likely to have the equipment, labour and site-management capability to install stockproof perimeter fencing over roughly 1.5 kilometres, construct or install cattle drinking facilities, and establish native hedgerow planting. Experience working on environmentally sensitive sites, peatlands, ASSIs or other designated habitats would support delivery, particularly where works must protect ecological conditions while accommodating future conservation grazing. Contractors should be environmentally conscious and able to coordinate several related activities within the specified contract period. The requirement may suit fencing, countryside-management, agricultural engineering, landscaping or environmental-restoration businesses, including firms able to combine these capabilities in-house or through delivery partners.
