Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Education is buying building works to extend St Malachy’s College in Belfast, improve existing facilities and upgrade services across the school estate. The work includes replacing and refurbishing windows, including work to listed buildings; refurbishing the heating system; partial rewiring; extending and refurbishing sports hall office accommodation, including listed-building work; and replacing the kitchen roof. It also covers sewer connections to Kinnard Street and upgrades to mechanical service ducts. This is an education-building project combining refurbishment, extension and building-services installation. CPD Construction Division is managing the procurement on the Department’s behalf. The works are at St Malachy’s College, Belfast.

The buyer invited tenders through a competitive flexible procedure, using a selective procurement method. Suppliers were asked to submit offers electronically through eTendersNI. The deadline for expressions of interest was 24 November 2026 at 3pm. The award decision was scheduled by 28 January 2027. The contract period is 1 April 2027 to 1 April 2029, with a possible extension to 1 April 2030; renewal is permitted, with arrangements set out in the tender documents. The estimated value is £4.95 million excluding VAT (£5.94 million including VAT). There is one lot. Evaluation gives price a 70% weighting, quality 20% and social value 10%.

This opportunity suits construction contractors able to manage a substantial, multi-workstream refurbishment and extension project within an operating school estate. Relevant delivery capability includes building refurbishment and extension, work to listed buildings, window replacement, heating-system upgrades, electrical rewiring, mechanical services and ductwork, sewer connections, and roof replacement. Suppliers will need to coordinate these trades across existing facilities while delivering improvements to the sports hall office accommodation and wider school services. The range of building and mechanical and electrical work may suit a principal contractor with the capacity to manage specialist trades, or firms able to form a delivery team covering the full scope. Quality and social value together account for 30% of evaluation, so bidders should be prepared to address both alongside their price offer.
