## Summary

Belfast City Council has recently completed the procurement process for routine inspection, maintenance, and repairs of roll on/roll off containers and compactors, classified under CPV code 50530000 for repair and maintenance services of machinery. The procurement, conducted via an open procedure and covered by the GPA, was initiated through an Invitation to Tender (ITT) and involved assessing bidders on quality, social value, and pricing proposals. The Council has awarded Lot 1 for roll on/roll off containers to MacNabb Bros. Waste Management Ltd, and Lot 2 for static compactors to Benagh Engineering and Motor Works Ltd. Both lots include options for the Council to expand the scope of services as needed, and the contracts were signed on 14 November 2024, with activities primarily taking place in Belfast (UKN06 region).

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in the repair and maintenance of metal containers and machinery. Firms with a robust track record in delivering high-quality, reliable maintenance services can benefit from the predictable demand for routine servicing and occasional repairs. SME suppliers like MacNabb Bros. Waste Management Ltd and Benagh Engineering and Motor Works Ltd, who were successfully awarded the contracts, demonstrate that smaller businesses with niche expertise in container and compactor maintenance are well-suited to compete and secure such contracts. Additional potential for service expansion under this agreement further enhances opportunities for selected suppliers.

## Notice

The ITT set out the information which was required by the Council to assess the suitability of Bidders' experience, organisational and financial standing to meet the ITT requirement. In addition to this, quality, social value, and pricing proposals were also assessed before the contract award was made.
