Summary of the contracting process

The Business Services Organisation Procurement and Logistics Service, representing Health and Social Care Northern Ireland (HSCNI), is in the planning stage of a public procurement process. The initiative involves the Preliminary Market Engagement for an Online User Feedback Service, targeting the IT services industry. This process, classified under several IT-related CPV codes, including consulting and custom software development, aims to gather market insights through a Questionnaire.
