The Department is developing a new procurement strategy for the delivery of roads and civil engineering projects valued above £5 million.
A preliminary market engagement (PME) exercise took place in May 2025. As part of the PME, briefing meetings were held with the Mineral Products Association Northern Ireland (MPANI) and the Construction Employers Federation Limited (CEF). The presentation given and a summary note of the briefing including Q&As can be found below.
The feedback from the PME exercise will be used to inform the framework's procurement strategy, planned for publication in late summer 2025.
