Summary of the contracting process

Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council is procuring professional consultancy services for the refurbishment and creation of a mini digital hub within the existing Bleary Business and Community Centre. The project is part of the Mini Digi Hub Project, supported by PEACEPLUS and managed by the Special EU Programmes Body. The required services cover construction project management, quantity surveying, architectural design, mechanical and electrical engineering design, structural engineering consultancy, and civil engineering consultancy. The work will be delivered at the existing centre in Bleary, within the Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon borough. This is a multidisciplinary built-environment commission for suppliers able to support the development and delivery of a community-focused digital facility.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bids were to be submitted electronically, with the submission deadline set for 9 September 2026 at 12:00 noon. The contract period is scheduled to run from 25 September 2026 to 31 May 2028. The estimated gross value is £48,000 including VAT. There is one lot covering the full consultancy requirement. Offers will be evaluated on a 40% quality and 60% price basis, so technical approach and service quality carry substantial weight alongside cost. The opportunity is governed by the Procurement Act 2023 and applies Northern Irish devolved procurement arrangements. Electronic submissions are made through the council’s designated e-tendering service.

This opportunity suits an established consultancy or multidisciplinary team able to coordinate architectural, engineering, cost and project-management services for a refurbishment project. Relevant capability includes designing building alterations, developing mechanical and electrical installations, providing structural and civil engineering advice, preparing or managing cost information, and overseeing construction delivery. Suppliers should be able to bring these disciplines together and manage interfaces across the project from design through implementation. Experience of community, public-sector, digital, or similarly occupied buildings would be commercially relevant to the requirement, particularly where refurbishment must be delivered within an existing facility. The commission is small in overall scale but extends across design, surveying, engineering and construction-management responsibilities, favouring teams with sufficient capacity to support the project through to completion.
