## Summary

The Department of Finance (DoF) in Belfast, United Kingdom, is overseeing a public procurement contract for the ongoing support and maintenance of the Genealogy Northern Ireland System (GeNI) and Northern Ireland Registration Office System (NIROS). The project falls under the IT services category, with a focus on consulting, software development, internet, and support services. Civica UK Ltd has been awarded this contract, and the procurement has been initiated as a limited tender with the procurement stage currently at the contract update and award phase. This contract is set to span a period of three years, with possible extensions, and is governed by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, incorporating a standstill period as required. The location of service delivery is specified as the UK region, particularly Northern Ireland.

This procurement offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses involved in IT services, especially those with expertise in system maintenance and development, as well as those experienced in legislative compliance in IT solutions. Companies like Civica UK Ltd, which already have a foothold in software solutions for public records, can advance their service delivery and expand their footprint in the public sector domain. This contract could open doors for innovative IT firms capable of delivering continuity of service and adapting to technical and interoperability requirements crucial for critical business function support. Engaging in such projects not only enhances a business’s portfolio but also establishes strong partnerships with governmental bodies, which can be pivotal for future tenders.
