The procurement's primary focus is in the refurbishment work industry category under the classification 45453100. This modification extends the frameworks' value and is estimated to increase from £28,200,000 to £38,335,626 to cover an additional 20% call-off orders necessary for continuity while awaiting new procurement completion. This extension seeks to ensure the colleges continue meeting statutory obligations for the next 12 months, with works taking place across regions designated as UKN0. The process is currently in the award stage and is being executed under a limited procurement method without prior notice publication. This tender offers a notable growth opportunity for businesses engaged in refurbishment, maintenance, and minor construction works across the UK, notably small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as larger firms. With the procurement covering a variety of tasks from planned preventative maintenance to response maintenance and minor works, businesses particularly skilled in managing time-sensitive, routine, and specific construction projects will find the framework ideal. Suppliers already granted awards, such as Irwin ME Ltd and Graham Asset Management Ltd, reflect the scope for companies able to deliver high-quality services at competitive prices, given the award criteria weighing heavily on cost (70%) and quality (30%). Being a part of this procurement can bolster a company's profile in the education sector, offering long-term engagement and potential partnerships. ## Notice The Framework Agreement is for the provision of a wide range of construction related property maintenance services for the 6 NI Regional Colleges (Belfast Metropolitan College - BMC; Northern Regional College - NRC; North West Regional College - NWRC; South Eastern Regional College -SERC; Southern Regional College - SRC; and South West College - SWC) as follows: Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) - the regular routine inspection, testing and servicing of plant and equipment.

The modification is required to ensure continuity of essential services following the expiry of the current Framework[s] in July 2025, pending the completion of a new procurement process. The legal basis for this modification is Regulation 72(1)(e) of the PCR 2015, which permits modifications to a contract or framework agreement where the changes are not substantial within the meaning of Regulation 72(8). The scope, terms, and conditions of the Framework[s] remain unchanged; the modification is strictly limited to additional call-off orders and associated value of approximately 35% of the value to ensure uninterrupted service delivery. Further the additional orders are limited in duration to the minimum period necessary to allow for the completion of a procurement process and the award of new contracts. The Colleges do not consider that the modification is substantial as the Framework[s] will not be materially different in character from the one initially concluded. The Colleges have carefully assessed the proposed modification and are satisfied that none of the criteria relevant to Regulation 72(8) are met. The modification extension does not materially alter the character of the Frameworks, does not introduce new conditions or participants, does not change the economic balance in favour of the contractors, does not considerably extend the scope, and does not involve a change of contractor. The modification is strictly limited to what is necessary to ensure continuity of critical services. The Colleges are publishing this VEAT notice to ensure transparency The modification relates to an increase to the value only. The estimated overall increase in value is PS10,135,626, arising from each college placing call off orders against pre-determined schedules of works. Call-offs are proportionate to ensure the colleges meet their statutory obligations for up to the next 12 months while a new procurement exercise is progressed. As a result of this modification, the overall framework value is expected to increase from PS28,200,000 to PS38,335,626 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/064808-2026 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Negotiated without publication of a contract notice | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large, SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Jul 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 5 Jul 2021 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £5,652,662 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CPD - CONSTRUCTION DIVISION | | Locality | BELFAST | | Post town | Northern Ireland | | Postcode | BT3 9ED | | Country | Northern Ireland | | ITL 1 | TLN Northern Ireland | | ITL 2 | TLN0 Northern Ireland | | ITL 3 | TLN06 Belfast | | Local authority | Belfast | | Electoral ward | Sydenham | | Westminster constituency | Belfast East | | Delivery location | TLN Northern Ireland, TLN0 Northern Ireland | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 4 | | Supplier names | GRAHAM ASSET MANAGEMENT; H J MARTIN; IRWIN ME; LM SERVICES NI | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45453100 - Refurbishment work ## Release History - 9 Jul 2026 at 14:11 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/064808-2026 ## Notice URLs - https://etendersni.gov.uk/epps - https://ted.europa.eu/udl?uri=TED:NOTICE:373547-2020:TEXT:EN:HTML - https://www.finance-ni.gov.uk/contact ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
