## Summary

Northern Ireland Water Limited has conducted a public procurement process titled "Farming for Water, Seagahan Catchment Area" aimed at safeguarding water resources in County Armagh by reducing contamination from herbicides and nutrients. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically targeting agricultural and environmental services. The procurement method used was a selective, competitive flexible procedure, and the contract was awarded to Jig Saw Farm Community Interest Company as of 15th June 2026. This initiative is guided by Northern Irish devolved regulations and involves providing services to various farms within the Seagahan catchment area. Key dates include a standstill period ending on 25th June 2026 and a contract period starting from 29th June 2026, with potential extensions up to June 2030.

This contract presents substantial business growth opportunities, especially for companies experienced in agricultural and environmental services. Entities capable of providing sustainable farming techniques and pollution control measures could greatly benefit from this initiative. The procurement seeks organisations with the expertise to implement catchment-scale solutions, specifically targeting businesses equipped to reduce the impact of herbicides, improve water quality, and enhance environmental stewardship. As the award emphasised quality and cost in its evaluation criteria, companies with competitive pricing and high-quality service offerings are well-positioned to engage. The flexible procedure and potential for contract extensions provide further incentive for businesses aiming to establish long-term partnerships within the public sector.

## Notice

The Seagahan Farming for Water scheme aims to develop sustainable, catchment-scale solutions for the protection of rivers and lakes, which are the main sources of our drinking water. The project focuses on reducing the amount of the herbicide MCPA, nutrients and soil getting into rivers, streams and Seagahan reservoir from which drinking water is abstracted. Service requirements are to be provided at farms (as identified by NI Water) within the Seagahan catchment.
