## Summary

The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service recently completed a procurement process for the "Hosting, Support & Maintenance of NIFRS Website," classified under the information technology software maintenance category. This tender concluded with an award on 29 June 2021, valued at £100,000, for a period of up to five years from 1 April 2021. The procurement method was "limited," with the tender awarded directly to The Tomorrow Lab (Trading as The Pierce Partnership) due to their exclusive rights associated with the existing website's source code. The contract was based in Lisburn, UK, and involved only one bid received.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses that specialise in IT services and website maintenance, especially those with capabilities in hosting and support. Given the exclusive nature of the award, future tenders from similar government bodies may arise, presenting further chances for growth. Companies with experience in public sector contracts, especially those that have worked closely with local governmental organisations or have subject matter expertise, could find advantageous opportunities in upcoming projects.
