Summary of the contracting process

Derry City and Strabane District Council is procuring building works for a new community centre at Ringfort Road, Derry. The project is a 610 square metre, single-storey facility comprising a multi-purpose hall, offices, meeting rooms, kitchen, toilets, community library, plant and circulation areas. The scope covers architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and civil engineering installations, including elements requiring contractor design. External works include site preparation, piled foundations, drainage, utilities connections, sewer diversion, sustainable drainage, attenuation, car parking, an access road, paths and landscaping across a 0.40 hectare site. A neighbouring playpark is also planned, while an existing Sure Start facility must remain operational and accessible throughout the works. The main work category is building construction.

The procurement has reached the tender stage: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 4 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers by 11 September 2026 at 12:00, with electronic submission allowed through the council’s e-tendering service. This is a single-lot requirement. The estimated gross value is £2,400,000. The contract period is from 1 January 2027 to 1 January 2028, a 12-month programme. The award criteria are set out in the procurement documents, which provide the detailed basis for evaluation. The works are below the relevant threshold and are being procured under Northern Irish devolved public procurement regulations.

This opportunity suits a suitably qualified main contractor able to deliver a complete community-building project and coordinate multiple construction disciplines. Relevant capability includes managing architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and civil engineering works, together with contractor-designed elements where required. Suppliers should be able to deliver piled foundations, drainage, utilities, sewer diversion, sustainable drainage, attenuation, access works, car parking, paths and landscaping. The project also requires effective management of site constraints, including culverted watercourses and regrading, and coordination of statutory approvals. Experience of delivering accessible, fire-safe and sustainable public buildings would be relevant to the stated requirements. Contractors must be capable of maintaining safe public access and keeping the neighbouring Sure Start facility operational during construction.
