Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves a modification to an existing contract managed by the Education Authority, located in Belfast, United Kingdom. The contract pertains to the provision of an integrated Financial Management Information System and HR/Payroll services, under the EA One Project. This amendment introduces an e-Invoicing Module to the iFS system, reflecting an increase of £988,666 to the overall contract value, now totalling £40,188,666. The project addresses the EU directive 2014/55/EU and requires compliance with relevant UK procurement regulations. This contract is in the Award stage, having been modified in September 2025. The main service category is 'System and support services', primarily located in Northern Ireland (UKN), under CPV code 72250000.

This contract, particularly the new e-Invoicing Module, can provide substantial growth opportunities for technology and system support service providers, especially those specialising in financial management systems and e-invoicing solutions. By participating as subcontractors or service providers, businesses within the IT and financial services sectors can gain exposure to governmental contracts, enhancing their portfolio and market reach. Companies with expertise in compliance software development and financial processing solutions could find this contract particularly aligned with their services, potentially leading to further collaborations and expansions within public sector projects.
