Summary of the contracting process

Northern Ireland Water Limited has completed the procurement process for ISO Accreditation Services, as documented in the T149 contract. The buyer, Northern Ireland Water Limited, based in Belfast, aimed to appoint UKAS-accredited suppliers to renew existing ISO accreditations. The procurement was conducted under Northern Irish devolved regulations and involved below-threshold procedures. The contract encompasses several service categories, including business services and auditing, and involves multiple lots awarded to BSI Assurance UK Limited. The procurement stage is now in the award phase, with contracts signed on 20 March 2026, and service provision slated from 21 March 2026 to 15 March 2029, with the option for two one-year extensions.

This contract provides significant opportunities for businesses focusing on ISO accreditation, consultancy, and auditing services.

With options for extension built into the contract, businesses can plan for continued engagement and potential expansion. The total gross value of various lots, such as £129,103, offers solid revenue potential.
