## Summary

The recent procurement process undertaken by the Department of Justice - Northern Ireland Courts and Tribunal Service focused on securing Oracle licensing to sustain critical functions. This award, identified under the reference number 017306-2025, was completed on 24th April 2025. It falls within the IT services category, specifically consulting, software development, Internet, and support, classified under CPV code 72000000. Operating in the UK region, the procurement method adopted was limited, underlining a contract award without prior publication due to technical reasons. The associated contract is valued at £194,603.43 and extends for a duration of three years without extension options.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those with the capacity to offer Oracle solutions. The procurement process was specifically targeted at organisations with unique technical capabilities necessary for maintaining the mission-critical operations of the Northern Ireland Courts and Tribunals. While this opportunity was directly awarded, it highlights the importance of building expertise and accreditation in specific IT domains, such as Oracle systems, which can position businesses to be competitively considered in future government contracts requiring specialised technical services and support. Large-scale IT firms with robust resources and a track record in similar projects would be well-suited to respond to such opportunities in subsequent procurement rounds.
