UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council intends to establish a construction, maintenance and minor works framework for its council estate. The scope covers planned, reactive and project-based work, including general building, minor civil works, repairs, maintenance, small-scale refurbishment, enabling works and related construction services. Trades and disciplines listed include painting and decorating, plastering, plumbing, Gas Safe engineering, joinery, drywall and ceilings, skilled and general labour, fencing, glazing, bricklaying, stonemasonry, tiling, welding, roofing and playpark installation. Relevant associated work includes electrical and mechanical building installations, central heating and playground equipment maintenance. Work will be delivered exclusively within the Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council area, for council requirements across the borough.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the council has announced its intention to establish the framework, but this record is not an invitation to tender. The proposed procedure is an accelerated open procedure, with electronic submissions allowed in English. It is planned as an open framework with one lot and a three-year contract term from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029; the open-framework scheme is expected to end on 30 November 2029. The council expects the tender period to close on 5 November 2026 and evaluation to conclude by 20 November 2026, with a further notice anticipated on 14 October 2026. The estimated total framework value is £1,500,000, for planning and transparency only and without guaranteed work volume or call-off contracts. Awarding will use a taxi-rank system, with hourly rate identified as the criterion.

The framework is aimed at experienced and competent construction and maintenance contractors able to cover one or more of the listed trades or disciplines. It should suit local and regional SMEs, including businesses interested in participating as subcontractors, because the council expects proportionate and accessible requirements designed to reduce unnecessary barriers. Firms should consider whether they can work within the Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council area and support planned, reactive and project-based work across a public estate. Response-maintenance providers will need the operational capacity to respond within one hour of notification. Relevant preparation includes demonstrating practical capability in the required trade, dependable workforce and call-out arrangements, and competence for specialist activities such as gas engineering, electrical work, mechanical installations, roofing, playpark installation and building repairs.
