Summary of the contracting process

The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) is seeking a supplier to provide operational and administrative support services for the Northern Ireland Road Safety Partnership (NIRSP) and the PSNI Fixed Penalty Processing Centre. The partnership and centre are overseen by a PSNI management team, while their administration is delivered through managed-service resources. The supplier will provide and flexibly roster staff to meet changing demand, supporting efficient day-to-day operations. The work covers road-safety partnership and fixed-penalty processing support, including police and administrative services (CPV 75241100). Delivery is in Northern Ireland. This is a services contract, and the opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

The buyer invited tenders through an open procedure. The deadline for clarification questions was 16 October 2026 at 15:00, and tenders were due by 26 October 2026 at 15:00. Bids were to be submitted electronically through eTendersNI; paper bids would be rejected. The estimated value is £16 million excluding VAT (£19.2 million including VAT), reflecting potential extensions and optional services; the authority gives no guarantee of business volume. The initial contract term runs from 7 March 2027 to 6 March 2030, with two optional two-year extensions, giving a maximum term to 6 March 2034. Award is weighted 60% quality and 40% price. Quality covers service delivery, transition, management, performance monitoring and communication, data protection, and social value.

This opportunity is suited to suppliers able to provide managed operational and administrative support for public-sector road-safety and fixed-penalty processing services. The central delivery requirement is the flexible supply and rostering of personnel to meet fluctuating NIRSP and processing-centre demand, alongside the ability to maintain an efficient service. Strong proposals will need to explain implementation and transition, service delivery, contract management, performance monitoring and communication, data protection, and social value, as these are assessed as quality criteria. The scale and potential duration favour organisations able to sustain service delivery over several years and manage staffing capacity as requirements change. Small and medium-sized businesses are considered suitable to compete. Economic and technical selection requirements apply, with details set out in the tender documents.
