Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "C1245 - Full Services Marketing" was run by NI Water and its subsidiaries, based in Belfast, United Kingdom. This contract, which falls under the business services category including law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security, involved appointing a Full-Service Marketing Agency to support various communication activities. The procurement was conducted using a selective method through a negotiated procedure with prior competition, and it covered a wide range of marketing services, primarily targeted for delivery within the UKN region. The active contract valued at £3.8 million was signed on 30th September 2025, following a tender process that had its submission deadline on 25th March 2025. The contract was initially launched for tender on 20th February 2025, signalling a comprehensive approach to securing marketing expertise for NI Water.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for growth to businesses operating in the marketing services industry, particularly those capable of delivering a comprehensive range of services. Businesses with strengths in direct marketing, advertising, and stakeholder communication would be well-suited to compete, especially those familiar with delivering large-scale projects within the specified budget range of £3 million to £5 million. Moreover, as the procurement was based on a criteria of both quality and price, organisations with a keen focus on delivering high-quality service at competitive costs are likely to benefit. Moreover, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) can find opportunity here, given the inclusion of SME bids in the process, as highlighted by the participation of ANDERSON SPRATT GROUP LTD, which secured the contract.
