Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Infrastructure is buying road maintenance supply products for its TRAM and Rivers operations in Northern Ireland. The requirement covers goods used to maintain roads and associated infrastructure, grouped into cement products, drainage products, fencing products, grit bins, precast concrete products, road marking materials, tarpaulins, and tools and small equipment. Suppliers may therefore be manufacturers, distributors or specialist merchants able to provide a broad range of construction and road-repair materials, rather than a single product line. The procurement is for goods, with associated classifications covering road-repair materials, construction materials and related maintenance activities. The detailed product list and indicative usage figures by operational area are set out in the tender documents.

The procurement reached tender: the Department invited offers through an open procedure. This is a single-lot competition. Tenders had to be submitted electronically in English through the relevant eTendersNI opportunity; the enquiry deadline was 11 September 2026 at 3:00 pm and the tender deadline was 21 September 2026 at 3:00 pm. The estimated value is £2,100,000 excluding VAT, or £2,520,000 including VAT. The initial contract period runs from 19 October 2026 to 18 October 2029, with options for three further periods of up to 12 months, allowing extension to 18 October 2032. The award decision was due by 1 October 2026. Evaluation combines quantitative cost criteria with mandatory quality requirements, as detailed in the tender documents.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized enterprises as well as larger suppliers with the capacity to source, stock and deliver multiple categories of road maintenance products. Strong candidates will be able to manage a varied catalogue covering construction materials, drainage, fencing, road marking, concrete products, grit bins, tarpaulins, tools and small equipment, while supporting indicative demand across operational areas. The buyer requires suppliers to confirm accreditation to ISO EN 9001:2015. The accreditation must be held by the supplier itself: third-party certification is not accepted. Before award, the highest-scoring supplier must provide a certificate proving compliance; failure to evidence the standard leads to exclusion and consideration of the next highest-scoring supplier. This is suited to businesses with established quality-management systems and reliable fulfilment arrangements.
