## Summary

The Northern Ireland Assembly Commission is conducting a preliminary market consultation regarding its Broadcasting Requirements, encompassing equipment design, build, installation, and system integration services. This process is currently in the planning stage, with the consultation running until 23rd July 2021. The total estimated value of the potential procurement is £100,000, and businesses interested in participating should submit a questionnaire via the designated messaging function. This exercise is designed to gauge market interest rather than initiate a formal tender process.

This initiative presents considerable opportunities for businesses specialising in communication and multimedia software development, broadcasting equipment, and telecommunications infrastructure. Companies in the fields of design, installation, and integration of audio-visual and broadcasting solutions would be particularly well-suited to participate. Engaging in this market consultation may offer insights that can better position businesses ahead of any subsequent formal procurement processes.

## Notice

* This is not a tender exercise *. The Northern Ireland Assembly Commission is currently preparing to initiate a number of procurement processes relating to Broadcasting Requirements. The potential scale and scope of this is such that it offers a significant opportunity to bidders. Prior to initiating the procurement, the Commission wishes to establish the level of market interest in participating in the procurement process. At this stage, any information gathered through this market consultation exercise may inform internal business planning and any possible subsequent procurement process and will NOT be appraised in any future tender evaluation exercise. Please note that participation or non-participation in this preliminary market consultation exercise shall not prevent any provider participating in any potential procurement process, nor is it intended that any information supplied shall place any provider at an advantage or disadvantage in any forthcoming procurement process. For the avoidance of doubt, this is the scoping phase of the project and is not part of a formal procurement process. Further information including the questionnaire can be downloaded from CfT Documents. The questionnaire must be completed and returned via the Messaging function. There are no formal tender documents to be completed other than the questionnaire.
