## Summary

Armagh, Banbridge & Craigavon Borough Council has concluded a procurement process for the "Appointment of a Manufacturer to Supply and Deliver Bus Shelter Units" designated under CPV codes for bus shelters and engineering works (44212321, 45220000). The procurement was conducted through an open, below-threshold competition, concluding in an award to Rocklyn Engineering Ltd, a large-scale supplier based in Newtownabbey. The contract, valued at £114,372, was signed on 30th September 2025, and the contract period extends from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2026, with potential renewal options up to 2028. This procurement falls under the regulations applicable to Northern Irish devolved regulations.

This opportunity leverages a strong potential for business growth, particularly for manufacturers specialising in engineered structures or public infrastructure components. It signals significant opportunities for large manufacturers who have the capability and infrastructure to deliver bespoke bus shelter units. The tender attracted interest from multiple bidders, with a competitive tender process inviting final-stage bids, predominantly from small and medium-sized enterprises. The awarding to a non-VCSE supplier suggests a preference for established larger entities for this contract, indicating a favourability towards businesses that can assure quality and sustainability in manufacturing and delivery processes.
