Summary of the contracting process

Translink, a public transport organisation based in Belfast, is conducting a procurement process for an "Insurance Claims Management System." This procurement falls under the IT services industry category, with a focus on software package and information systems. The process has undergone multiple stages, including planning, tender, and cancellation. The original tender aimed to secure a cloud-based SaaS solution for an Insurance Claims Management System by 30th July 2025. However, this tender was cancelled on 8th September 2025 due to the lack of suitable tenders, as announced in the official tender cancellation notice. Key dates in this process included a tender submission deadline on 30th July 2025 and the conclusion of a pre-market engagement period on 23rd May 2025.

The procurement process presented potential opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those offering cloud-based SaaS solutions for insurance claims management. Although the tender was ultimately cancelled, organisations with expertise in compliance software and IT consulting could consider preparing for similar future opportunities. Businesses based in the UK, especially those familiar with Northern Irish devolved regulations, may have a competitive advantage. As the procurement process is classified as open and above the threshold, it invites broad participation, potentially benefiting SMEs and larger enterprises capable of delivering innovative IT solutions for the transport sector.
