## Summary

The Northern Health And Social Care Trust acted as the buying organisation in the recently completed procurement process titled "Investors in People 2025-28 Accreditation." As part of this initiative, the accreditation services have been directly awarded to Investors in People Community Interest Company, under the legal framework provided by Schedule 5 of the Public Administration Act of 2023. The procurement, conducted under direct procurement methods due to exclusive intellectual property rights, falls under the services category and is focused on administrative services. This contract covers the region of Antrim, United Kingdom, and has a substantial contract value of £46,200 excluding VAT, effective from 1st September 2025 through 30th November 2028.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in administrative and consultancy services, particularly those with capabilities in accreditation and compliance within health and social care sectors. Given that the procurement method is a direct award, businesses with exclusive rights in specific service areas or unique expertise stand to benefit most. Additionally, smaller enterprises with specialised knowledge akin to that of the awarded supplier, Investors in People Community Interest Company, could consider exploring similar niche markets or exclusive service rights to enhance their growth prospects. Enterprises aiming to engage with central government bodies or tapping into Northern Irish regulations may find this contract an illustrative benchmark for future procurement opportunities.
