## Summary

The procurement process initiated by the Newry Mourne & Down District Council focuses on the "BT Redcare CCTV Town Centres" contract, involving the rental of digital line infrastructure and transmission services for 20 CCTV cameras across Newry City, Warrenpoint, and Kilkeel. The industry category for this contract falls under closed circuit television services, with a significant emphasis on maintaining and upgrading existing infrastructure. The process reached the 'award' stage as of 2nd July 2026, with the contract period scheduled to commence on 5th August 2026 and conclude on 22nd July 2027. The procurement followed a direct award method due to British Telecommunications Limited being the sole provider of the necessary digital fibre-optic infrastructure required for this project under Northern Irish devolved regulations.

This tender presents a particular opportunity for large-scale telecommunications businesses, especially those specialising in digital infrastructure and CCTV services. The direct award to British Telecommunications Limited underscores the importance of niche expertise and established capabilities in similar service provisions. Although this specific tender may not be open for competition, businesses capable of delivering similar proprietary solutions could explore future collaborations or subcontracting opportunities, aiding in business growth through engagement with government contracts that require specialised service delivery platforms.

## Notice

Annual rental of IR1000D digital line infrastructure and transmission service for the continued operation of 20 CCTV cameras in Newry City, Warrenpoint and Kilkeel. This includes additional line routes in Warrenpoint and Kilkeel.

### Procurement Information

Purpose of the notice is to inform total aggregated spend on previous Direct Awards that were under the Light Touch threshold.
