## Summary

The procurement process for Belfast Harbour's City Quays 3 fit-out project has reached the award stage as of December 2025, following an initial tendering phase that commenced in September 2025. Belfast Harbour, the buying organisation, oversees the fit-out of floors within the 16-storey grade A office development located in Belfast, United Kingdom. The works include Category A and B fit-out along with structural modifications. The competitive flexible procedure adopted was an open procurement method under Northern Irish devolved regulations. Having attracted multiple bidders, the award decision notices the successful supplier as JOHN GRAHAM CONSTRUCTION LIMITED. The entire contract is valued at £7,750,000, with completion anticipated by May 2026. The contract involves significant building, electrical, plumbing, mechanical installations, and completion work, centered within the UKN06 region, ensuring compliance with utilities regime standards.

This tender presents key opportunities for businesses in construction and mechanical installations, particularly those capable of handling large-scale office fit-outs. Businesses located within the UK or having capabilities to operate under UK regulations would find this venture beneficial for growth, given the scale and contractual value involved. Firms like Gilbert-Ash and James F McCue, which participated but were not awarded, reflect the competitive nature of this procurement, with criteria rewarding comprehensive pricing and technical capabilities as per pre-qualification documents. SMEs keen on expanding into Northern Ireland's infrastructure sectors, especially those with experience in structural modifications and high-spec office developments, would be well-positioned to compete in similar future procurement processes.

## Notice

The works consist of Category A (Cat A) and Category B (Cat B) fit out works of Floors 6, 5 and part Floor 4, within the 16 storey grade A office development known as City Quays 3. The approximate combined floor area of the fit out works is in the region of 34,500 sq.ft. In conjunction with the typical grade A office fit out works, further works are required to install new internal staircases linking Floors 4 - 5 and 5 - 6. This will require a structural cut-out in the existing floor slabs.
