Summary of the contracting process

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council is seeking a supplier to provide and install steel post-and-wire fencing for the PEAT+ project at Killeavy Estate, within the Slieve Gullion Special Area of Conservation. The fencing will support conservation grazing and needs to provide a robust, long-term solution to help deliver conservation outcomes. This is a practical fencing installation requirement in a conservation setting, suited to contractors able to supply suitable materials and carry out installation at the estate. The procurement is categorised as services, although the work combines the supply of fencing materials with installation.

The council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The process reached tender, with suppliers invited to submit bids. The enquiry deadline was 26 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the submission deadline was 29 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract period is scheduled from 16 November 2026 to 26 February 2027. The estimated value is £30,000 excluding VAT (£36,000 including VAT). There is one lot. Bids are evaluated on cost, weighted at 60%, and quality, weighted at 40%; the detailed assessment is set out in the RFQ documentation. Electronic bid submission is allowed.

The opportunity is suited to fencing suppliers and agricultural or land-management contractors with the ability to source and install steel post-and-wire fencing. Experience delivering durable fencing for grazing or conservation land would be relevant, particularly where work must support conservation objectives within a designated site. Suppliers should be able to plan and complete a defined installation during the stated contract period and offer a solution that can withstand long-term use. The council identifies the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so businesses of those types can consider bidding alongside other capable contractors. Cost carries the greater evaluation weight, while quality also contributes substantially to the decision.
