Summary of the contracting process

Energia Group NI Holdings Limited is procuring strategic consultancy and technology services to support technology transformation across its energy business in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, with delivery focused in Northern Ireland. The requirement covers enhancement and development of systems and business processes, enterprise-scale transformation, discovery and design, implementation, transition into operation, business-as-usual change and flexible specialist resource. It also includes digital development and support for mobile and web applications, specialist utilities services, data and artificial intelligence strategy and initiatives, and security services. This is an IT consulting and support requirement (CPV 72000000) for a private utility operating electricity and gas services, seeking a pool of trusted partners able to work collaboratively with internal teams and provide scalable delivery capacity.

The procurement is complete following an open procedure under the utilities regime. The tender closed on 15 May 2026, with award decisions due by 30 June 2026. Awards dated 3 September 2026 are pending signature for four lots: Transformation Programme Services and Delivery, £40m excluding VAT, awarded to Entserv UK, Accenture, KPMG Ireland, Wipro, IBM, PA Consulting, CGI and Deloitte; Project and Business as Usual Change Resourcing, £8m, awarded to Expleo, PA Consulting, Transition Technologies MS, Entserv UK, Wipro, Deloitte, KPMG Ireland and IBM; Specialist Utilities Services, £12m, awarded to Accenture, Wipro, Tata Consultancy Services, Boston Consulting Group, Deloitte, IBM, KPMG Ireland, D-Fine and Baringa Partners; and Security, £10m, awarded to Accenture, KPMG Ireland, Tata Consultancy Services, BT, Bridewell Consulting and Integrity360. Each contract is planned for 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2031, with two possible 12-month extensions to 30 September 2033. Evaluation weighted technical capability at 55% or 65%, client relationship management at 5%, and cost at 30% or 40%, depending on the lot.

This procurement demonstrates sustained demand from Energia for large-scale technology transformation and specialist delivery capability in the energy sector. Relevant competitors would need to combine strong technical expertise with the capacity to supply teams or complete end-to-end assignments, from discovery and design through implementation and operational transition. Credible capability areas include transformation programme delivery, project and business-as-usual change resourcing, utilities-sector expertise, mobile and web application development, data and artificial intelligence strategy and implementation, and cyber security. The award pattern shows that Energia values both broad multi-disciplinary delivery and focused niche expertise, using several established technology, consultancy and security providers rather than a single supplier. Suppliers preparing for a future requirement should be able to work alongside internal teams, scale resources quickly, support business-as-usual activity and demonstrate a practical approach to managing the client relationship.
