## Summary

The Northern Ireland Office (NIO), sponsored by the Crown Commercial Service, has completed the procurement process for the provision of an Evidence Management System for the Omagh Bombing Inquiry. The contract, worth £3,000,000 GBP, encompasses a broad geographical coverage, including regions across the United Kingdom and several Crown dependencies. The procurement was conducted through a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender period ending on 23rd September 2024 and the contract period slated to run from 24th September 2024 to 23rd September 2027. The project falls under the industry category of database services (CPV 72320000).

The awarded supplier, EPIQ SYSTEMS, LTD., is an established large-scale company with the capability to handle comprehensive and sensitive data management projects. Businesses in the tech sector with experience in public sector contracts and complex data management will find similar opportunities lucrative, offering substantial potential for business growth and sectoral expansion.
