## Summary

Northern Ireland Electricity Networks Limited (NIE Networks) has concluded the procurement process for the provision of organisational training and development services, focusing on developing high potentials, executive coaching, and delivering accredited leadership programmes. This tender falls within the services category, classified under CPV codes such as training programme services and staff training services, and it's situated in the UKN region. The procurement method employed was a negotiated procedure with prior call for competition, culminating in framework agreements active for an initial period of three years, extendable by a further two years. The contract, valued at approximately GBP 2,225,000, was awarded on 17 October 2024, marking the tender’s completion stage.
