## Summary

Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council initiated a procurement process for the Provision of Wastewater Quality Testing Service, targeting the environmental services industry. The project was located at Ballyfodrin Landfill Site in Craigavon, Northern Ireland, with the council managing landfill site operations and wastewater treatment in compliance with various legislative requirements. Initially tendered in early May 2026 with a submission deadline of 29 May 2026, the process followed an open, below-threshold competition procurement method. The subsequent contract was awarded on 6 July 2026 to McQuillan Envirocare, a recognised UKAS-accredited SME for the active delivery of services until July 2028, with provisions for renewal up to 2031, and a contract value of £84,028.

This tender provides substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental services, particularly those with UKAS accreditation capable of offering comprehensive testing, analysis, and reporting services. SMEs in the environmental monitoring and quality assessment sector stood a strong chance in this competition, particularly as the procurement emphasised quality and price criteria. Participating businesses could benefit significantly from engaging in projects that ensure environmental compliance and operational efficiency, leveraging the tender’s focus on the Northern Irish devolved regulations and the potential for long-term engagement through contract renewals.

## Notice
