Summary of the contracting process

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council is procuring the supply, installation and maintenance of a power-operated automated height restriction barrier at the entrance to Castle Park car park, Park Avenue, Newcastle, County Down. The barrier is intended to improve parking management while allowing a high-sided delivery vehicle to enter and leave the car park, which services the local Post Office sorting office. The requirement is for a safety and road barrier solution, including the associated installation and ongoing maintenance. Suppliers should therefore be able to provide an automated access-control barrier suitable for a public car park and its operational delivery requirements in Newcastle, County Down.

The process reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 24 August 2026 at 12:00, and offers by 28 August 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission was allowed through MultiQuote. The contract is scheduled to run from 17 September 2026 to 30 September 2026. Its estimated value is £15,000 excluding VAT, or £18,000 including VAT. There is one lot. Offers are evaluated on 70% price and 30% quality, with the quality assessment set out in the request-for-quotation documentation. The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This opportunity suits suppliers specialising in automated height restriction barriers, powered access barriers, traffic-management equipment or related car-park control systems. Strong bidders will be able to supply equipment, install it safely at a car-park entrance and provide maintenance during the short delivery period. The requirement also calls for a practical solution that manages vehicle access while accommodating a high-sided delivery vehicle serving the local Post Office sorting office. Experience of working with public-sector, commercial or car-park sites would help suppliers demonstrate relevant capability, although the published opportunity does not identify specific accreditations or formal experience thresholds. The council states that the competition is suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, making it potentially accessible to specialist regional installers as well as larger barrier and access-control providers.
