UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council is procuring building works to upgrade and refurbish Bessbrook Community Centre, including an extension and various internal works to create a community Digi Hub. The requirement is construction work for a cultural and community building, covering building construction and related alteration works. Delivery is at Bessbrook Community Centre in Bessbrook, Northern Ireland. The project is supported by PEACEPLUS, a programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body. The council is seeking a competent contracting company able to deliver the construction and refurbishment scope as an integrated project. This opportunity is relevant to building contractors with experience in extensions, internal refurbishment and the delivery of community, leisure, cultural or similar public-use facilities.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It comprises one lot, with offers evaluated entirely on cost. The enquiry deadline set by the buyer is 10 September 2026 at 12:00, and the tender submission deadline is 17 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 1 December 2026 to 25 February 2027. The estimated value is £527,675 excluding VAT, or £633,210 including VAT. Electronic submission is allowed. Suppliers must access and submit the opportunity through MultiQuote; registration is required for suppliers who are not already registered. The procurement is below the relevant threshold and is for works rather than goods or services.

The requirement suits established construction and refurbishment contractors that can take responsibility for an extension and varied internal works within a community-centre setting. Relevant businesses are likely to have practical capability in building construction, alteration, refurbishment and coordination of several work areas on one site. The council has identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so it may suit smaller contractors and socially focused organisations with suitable delivery capability. Businesses should be able to demonstrate competent contracting capacity, organise labour and subcontractors where needed, and complete a public-facing community facility to the required standard within the stated delivery period. The cost-only evaluation means competitive pricing will determine the award.
