Summary of the contracting process

The Northern Ireland Assembly Commission is currently engaged in a pre-market consultation exercise ahead of a planned procurement for a Technical Advisor concerning Broadcasting Projects and Contract Renewal. This process is classified under the CPV code 71621000, which pertains to technical analysis or consultancy services. The consultation is aimed at gauging market interest before the formal procurement begins, with the deadline for questionnaire submissions set for 5th March 2021. The contract is expected to commence on 1st May 2021 and run until 30th April 2023.

This pre-market engagement presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in technical consultancy and broadcasting services. Companies with expertise in systems and technical advisory roles will find this particularly relevant, as the Northern Ireland Assembly seeks to obtain insights that may shape their future procurement strategies. Engaging in this consultation could position businesses favourably for upcoming contracts, allowing them to align their offerings with the needs of a public body operating within the UK.

Notice Title

* Pre Market Engagement * Technical Advisor for Broadcasting Projects and Contract Renewal

Notice Description

* This is not a tender exercise *. The Northern Ireland Assembly Commission is currently preparing to initiate a procurement process to award a contract for a Technical Advisor for Broadcasting Projects and Contract Renewal. The potential scale and scope of this is such that it offers a significant opportunity to bidders. Prior to initiating the procurement, the Commission wishes to establish the level of market interest in participating in the procurement process. At this stage, any information gathered through this market consultation exercise may inform internal business planning and any possible subsequent procurement process and will NOT be appraised in any future tender evaluation exercise. Please note that participation or non-participation in this preliminary market consultation exercise shall not prevent any provider participating in any potential procurement process, nor is it intended that any information supplied shall place any provider at an advantage or disadvantage in any forthcoming procurement process. For the avoidance of doubt, this is the scoping phase of the project and is not part of a formal procurement process. Further information including the questionnaire can be downloaded from CfT Documents. The questionnaire must be completed and returned via the Messaging function. There are no formal tender documents to be completed other than the questionnaire.
