## Summary

The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS) has engaged in a public procurement process for the provision of maintenance services for flood water facility water pumps at the Learning and Development College (LDC) in Cookstown. This procurement is underpinned by the legal framework established by the UKPGA 2023/54. The central government body, headquartered in Lisburn, Northern Ireland, has completed the procurement stage, entering the award and contract phase as of 19 November 2025. XYLEM WATER SOLUTIONS UK LTD has been awarded the contract through a direct award method, totaling £85,784.02, starting from 28 December 2025 and extending until 27 December 2028, with a possible 12-month extension. The contract has been executed under direct award circumstances due to the specialised nature of the equipment and the supplier's existing involvement with the installation of the pumps.

This tender provides considerable opportunities for businesses specialising in the maintenance and servicing of complex pump systems. Firms that have expertise in handling advanced firefighting training assets and those familiar with the operational requirements of flood water facility channels would find themselves at an advantage. The contract, though awarded via direct means to XYLEM WATER SOLUTIONS UK LTD, highlights an essential need for businesses capable of delivering highly specialised services, especially firms that possess unique skills in dealing with intellectual property and technical complexities tied to such infrastructure. The project's nature, complexity, and scope underscore the importance of having skilled, nimble enterprises that can offer both reactive and planned maintenance support effectively.

## Notice

As part of the PS42m construction of the new NIFRS Learning and Development Training College, NIFRS installed a unique Flood Water Facility (FWF). It is a unique firefighting training asset, the second of its kind in the world; it includes a 10m wide x 100m long flood channel fed by an adjoining reservoir via a dedicated pumping station. NIFRS are seeking to appoint a supplier for the maintenance of the flood water pumps for a period of 3 years with the option to extend for a further 12 months.

### Procurement Information

Reactive and planned maintenance and servicing of this equipment must be undertaken by a competent, highly specialised contractor. The systems are complex and have specific supporting software. The flyte pumps were installed by Xylem. Xylem headquarters are in England, with a regional Belfast Office. During the construction Phase, NIFRS visited similar facilitates in Pinkston, Glasgow and Lee Valley White Water Recreational Centre. Both facilities have similar pumps installed. The lessons learned from these visits were that when the facilities opted for an alternative maintenance supplier, then there were significant issues with the pumps malfunctioning. Given the Geographical location, it is proposed that the maintenance services are provided by Xylem Belfast Office who can offer a local response.
