## Summary

Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service commissioned construction works for a new Cushendall Fire Station in Ballymena, including dedicated training facilities. The project covers demolition of the existing station and making good the site after removal. Construction and commissioning were to take place while the existing fire station remained operational, so the requirement involves managing works around ongoing emergency-service operations. The main category is building construction work. Health Estates – Department of Health assisted Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service with the procurement of a contractor. The appointed supplier was Seaview Developments, based in Bellaghy. The work is a single completed package covering the station, training provision, demolition and site reinstatement rather than separate published lots.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was run as a below-threshold procurement under Northern Irish devolved regulations. Seaview Developments was awarded the single works package, with an active contract valued at £1,998,432 gross. The contract was signed on 15 September 2026 and runs from 19 October 2026 to 30 November 2027. The award was active when published, and the contract is active. The process data does not set out a separate award scoring model or detailed evaluation weighting. The recorded outcome identifies Seaview Developments as the selected supplier for the complete construction requirement, including the new fire station, training facilities, demolition of the old station and making good the site.

This procurement shows a requirement for a principal construction contractor able to deliver a public-sector emergency-services building from demolition through construction, commissioning and site completion. A credible competitor for comparable work would need practical experience in building construction, coordinating specialist training facilities and managing construction beside an operational fire station. The ability to plan safe phased works, maintain access and continuity for emergency operations, control interfaces between demolition and new-build activity, and complete site reinstatement would be commercially relevant. The requirement also indicates the value of demonstrating end-to-end delivery capability rather than offering a narrow trade package. Firms serving Northern Ireland’s public-sector construction market, particularly those able to manage complex occupied sites and commissioning obligations, would be well placed for similar requirements from this buyer.
