The procurement falls under the industry category of Repair and Maintenance Services and involves multiple workshops located throughout Northern Ireland, including Ballymena, Coleraine, Omagh, Enniskillen, Armagh, and Craigavon. The current procurement stage is the award, with contracts having been signed on 3rd January 2025. The total estimated contract value is £6 million, equally divided across six lots, each awarded to different suppliers. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, aligned with the Directives of 2014/24/EU. This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in vehicle maintenance and repair services. With separate lots for each workshop, businesses can bid for multiple lots without a limit, increasing their chances of securing substantial work. The contracts guarantee scheduled maintenance work due to insufficient in-house DfI personnel, ensuring a steady workflow for contractors. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in vehicle maintenance, fleet management, and related services are particularly well-suited to compete for these contracts, enabling them to expand their service portfolios and enhance their market presence in Northern Ireland. ## Notice The Department has a need to establish a call-off contractual arrangement, for each of its workshops across Northern Ireland in order to support in-house maintenance operations. Each contract is designed to provide the Department with a facility to have guaranteed work undertaken owing to not having sufficient in-house technical personnel to meet operational requirements. Should this change during the term of this contract the Department reserves the right to change the work from guaranteed scheduled work to non-guaranteed unscheduled work. This may be on a workshop by workshop basis. Each lot will be evaluated independently and there is no limit to the number of Lots that any one Economic Operator can be awarded.
