The main service delivery location is across Northern Ireland, with industry categories including machinery for the treatment of sewage, sewage plant equipment, and sewage services. The project has been divided into three lots based on population equivalency, and the award status is active with contracts signed on 10th November 2025. This procurement represents a significant opportunity for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) in the sewage treatment and service sectors.
