## Summary

The Northern Ireland Green Economy Intelligence Contract, initiated by Invest Northern Ireland, has moved through multiple stages from tender to award. Commissioned through an open procedure, this contract focuses on services within the green economy sector, including areas like Agri-food, Life Sciences, and Digital Technologies. Located in Belfast, this procurement is integral to identifying green economy opportunities and is governed by Northern Irish devolved regulations. The procurement process concluded with the awarding of the contract to Ove Arup & Partners Ltd, starting 1st September 2025 and potentially extending until 1st September 2030. The procurement was valued at £1,747,421.53, with provisions in place for additional periods of extension based on performance and budgetary considerations.

This tender offers substantial prospects for business expansion, particularly for organisations involved in high-value sectors of the green economy. Companies specialised in research, consultancy, and development services are well-positioned to benefit from such initiatives due to the contract's emphasis on identifying complementary capabilities and market opportunities. Ove Arup & Partners Ltd, a large-scale supplier, was identified as a suitable partner, reflecting the tender's alignment with large enterprises capable of delivering comprehensive analysis and insights. However, the open procurement method also potentially paves the way for SMEs with robust capabilities to participate in future procurement opportunities in related sectors.
