The Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery, based in Belfast, is seeking to engage in a procurement process for the development of their staff through proofreading training. This procurement process falls under the industry categories of e-learning and training services, set within the Northern Ireland region. The procurement is currently at the planning stage with key dates including the deadline for expressions of interest on 6th July 2025 and the commencement of the contract on 31st July 2025. This initiative is identified under the procurement title "Proof Reading Training - Pre Market Engagement" and is classified as a light-touch service procurement with an estimated gross contract value of £22,000. The process aligns with the UK’s devolved regulations for Northern Ireland and applies the 2023/54 legal basis.
