Summary of the contracting process

The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) is seeking to award a contract for the provision of an Integrated Ballistics Identification System (IBIS). The procurement process falls under the IT services category, covering consulting, software development, Internet, and support. It concerns services crucial for maintaining PSNI's critical business functions and accreditation with the National Ballistics Intelligence Service (NABIS). The procurement method used was limited, specifically following an award procedure without prior publication due to technical reasons, ensuring continuity of service. Key dates include the award of one contract worth £769,651 on 26th March 2025 and another worth £800,000 on 13th February 2025, both to suppliers with details withheld for security reasons. The location for the service delivery is in Northern Ireland (UK), particularly Belfast, covering the region designated as UKN.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses capable of providing specialised IT services, particularly in integrated systems used for ballistics identification. Companies with expertise in software development, system integration, and sensitive data handling are well-suited to compete for such contracts. Participation in this procurement can help businesses establish a strong portfolio in the public safety sector and leverage their capabilities for future high-value contracts with law enforcement agencies. Due to the technical nature of the procurement, businesses with niche competencies and the ability to meet stringent requirements around technical compatibility and integration will find this opportunity conducive to growth and enhanced market presence.
