## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Derry City and Strabane District Council aimed to secure specialist engineering consultancy services for cemetery extensions under the title "T25-142CAP Cemeteries Specialist Engineering Consultancy Services - Planning". This opportunity fell within the civil engineering consultancy services category and was intended for projects located in Strabane, Mountcastle, and Castlederg, Northern Ireland. The procurement followed an open competition method below the threshold, with the tender period ending on 17th October 2025. Despite this structured approach, the tender ended with no submissions, and the tender process was concluded on 14th November 2025 with a cancellation notice issued on 24th November 2025.

This tender presented a significant opportunity for businesses operating within civil engineering consultancy, particularly those experienced in planning and design services for public works. Firms offering services related to designing, securing planning approval, and project management for infrastructure projects could find substantial growth potential in such tenders. Engaging in such projects allows companies to expand their portfolios, enhance their expertise in the public sector, and establish strategic partnerships with local authorities like the Derry City and Strabane District Council. Despite the cancellation, similar future tenders could provide vital growth avenues for suitably equipped engineering consultancies.
