## Summary

The Northern Ireland Courts and Tribunals Service has completed a public procurement process for the "DOJ DAC 22/21 - NICTS QAS PRO" contract, which relates to IT services, specifically consulting, software development, internet, and support. The procurement, classified under CPV code 72000000, stages at the Award stage and has an estimated contract value of £354,637.50 over a five-year duration from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2026. This limited procurement method was executed through an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, as it involved proprietary software that only a particular economic operator could supply, necessitating a derogation under specific conditions set out in public procurement regulations.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those with capabilities in software development and integration with existing systems. Companies focused on address verification solutions or those experienced in modernising case management systems would be particularly well-suited to engage in such a procurement landscape. As NICTS embarks on an ambitious modernization programme, suppliers that can provide innovative data cleansing solutions will likely find a favourable position to compete for additional contracts in the future.
